i don't smoke but they say its really hard to quit if your used to it.but it's good that you want to get rid of it,cause if you smoke,your killing yourself softly as my teacher said..well why dont you try sucking something everytime you feel like smoking,example when you want to smoke,grab some candy or a gum..they say its really hard to quit so take it slowly,like if you smoke 5 sticks a day make it 3 .then reduce it to 1 until you successfully quit on it..

My husband was a smoker and he was able to overcome it so if he did then I think you can do it too. The first thing that he did was a firm decision to quit smoking. When he quit of course it wasnt abrupt like magic. He has to withdraw little by little. If you smoke 10 sticks in a day, you can gradually decrease the number of sticks you smoke in 1 day. You can have 8 then 6 then 4 then 3 then 2 then 1. Also have a strong belief in yourself that you will be able to do it. Dont let anybody tempt you or do it while you are in the process of overcoming. And do it for yourself. its a better motivation.
