Tips to quit smoking
It is true. It has been scientifically proved it is hard to quit smoking. For 10 years, experts from the United Kingdom have studied over 200.000 volunteers who tried to give it up.
Even if it is hard, a strong will is going to lead you to the nicotine-free life you desire.
Most of the smokers tend to make a habit out of smoking by unconsciously turning it into a conditioned reflex.
Try to stop or replace the actions that make you want to smoke, such as drinking coffee in the morning. You can replace it with green tea, for example – healthy for your heart and lungs at the same time.
Be prepared to experience the unpleasant effects of the withdrawal from nicotine, because it is going to happen. The first days are going to be a struggle, you will most likely get more and more nervous.
Don’t lose it, there are ways in which you can deal with it just fine. Chew sugar-free gum or have a mint drop. Crunch on some nuts, sunflower seeds or just have a snack.
Get lost into things that take your concentration off your desire to smoke, like watching a movie or hitting the gym.
Change the cigarette brand and switch the cig-holding hand with the other. 8% of those 200.000 people I spoke about in the beginning managed to give up smoking by doing just that.
It just might work for you, for me isn't working, but if it doesn’t for you also, don’t lose hope, there’s more!
You don’t have to quit overnight, the main goal is to reduce the cigarettes to 5 per day. Once you reach that milestone, you’re pretty much done with it.
Try to create a schedule, as an example for starters smoke a cigarette not sooner than two hours after the previous one. When you feel ready, expand this pause between smokes until you end up not smoking at all.
You must bear in mind that you are in charge of your actions. It’s just a matter of determination and if you really put your mind to it there’s nothing holding you back. You can do it!
I personally used a self help method. I think that ultimately you have to do it yourself though assists are said to be quite helpful for some.
My method was using a book that helped me with my thought processes about myself and the temptation to smoke.
I also had to separated myself from many of my friends and routines that had become intertwined with my smoking routine.
I had to replace my smoking routine with a new routine which involved a mantra focused upon breathing fresh air and reading.
this may sound weird but after about 2 months I was pretty well on my way to freedom and 6 months later it was pretty much a done deal.
The first three to four weeks were the toughest. Then the next month was crucial that I didn't slip up.

This is such an interesting post. I have a friend that really wishes to quit smoking but he always suffers a relapse. I'm glad I came across this post. I'm not only reesteeming but bookmarking it so he can read it since he is not on steemit. Thanks for sharing.
@jwolf if I only smoke 5 per day why am I pretty much done? because I actually do not smoke more than that, so that's great news for me I guess...
Smoking kills and majority of the smokers out there are ignorant of this.
i once over heard a man say "my father smoked for over 20 years and he didn't die as a result of it so he also wouldn't die".
I just shook my head and continued walking.
