I've been smoking for almost three decades and I'll be honest I've tried to stop it for so many times but I've always failed. I am smoking more than a pack a day, that's 20 plus stick of cigarettes. Right now, I am thinking to stop again because the price of cigarettes now is so high and of course I am expecting my second child. But definitely it is not an easy vision since cigarette become a big part of my life and already heavily imbued in my system. For those who have stopped smoking, what did you do to quit your smoking habit? To all, please give me an awesome advice. Thank You.
Good day/night to everyone.

They've said if I've got some serious illness by then I will really stop it. I hope I can stop it before that happen.

@simplfred I think seeing it in pictures is different from seeing it in reality. The impact would be stronger, more direct. My aunt was sooo traumatized she never lit a stick again.

@simplfred I'm not hoping for you to be traumatized but for you to have a wake up call of your own.

There are medications to help you stop smoking like the patch and chantix. I am not sure what is available in your area..maybe you can find out from your cardio guy. Plus there are support groups. Good Luck..

Thank you so much. I will do this in a Cold Turkey way but if I failed once again then I will really need some medical attention about it.

I quit smoking. Was not a chain smoker but thank God. I declare that the next stick you will smoke will taste like unpleasant taste on your buds. Allowing you to really hate smoking.

Take something else when you feel like smoking. Something that you like eating apart from smoking.

Self motivation. Different people get motivated differently. You have to find a thing which can motivate you not to take it.

Go cold turkey, and while you're at it, eat the turkey too. Ha, OK bad joke. I don't know because I don't smoke. Just paste a patch or something. Eat more, jog, get a hobby, anything. If all else fail, just look for the turkey.

I can't offer real advice. my husband smokes and I nag him about it daily.
I keep telling him that each cig is equal to about 4 minutes of lost life... does he want that time to be a wedding or a high school graduation he misses? it hasn't worked to get him to quit. :(

Never a smoker here.
My dad was a chain smoker. I recall, He just stopped smoking the next day. Cold turkey, it's called. It took so many years before my mom told me how my father stopped so suddenly.
She told my father that if he really loves us, he would quit smoking or we are gone and he won't see us again.
It worked and knowing my mom, she would do that in a heartbeat.
