Check out this group's How To Quit Smoking guide, where people with this experience share their tips and hints.

Here are a few tips...
  • try hypnotherapy - it worked for me
  • Quit with a buddy or a partner- if you are married and living with someone, you can't do this alone! Also read Allen Carr's The Easy Way To Quit Smoking. Remove all tobacco products from your life.
  • Just stop identifying with being a smoker. The physical part of the addiction isn't so bad; cravings pass after a few minutes. The hard part is breaking the mental habit of lighting up after a meal, while driving, etc.
