I have to quit like now!
the best way to do it is: first, HONESTLY ask yourself if you want to quit and why? second: assess yourself if you have the will power to quit smoking. if you honestly decided to quit, then you can tell yourself you can do it. Third: look in your everyday life what are the things that you do to light up a cigarette: coffee, alcohol, food, telephone, work, people around you, etc. HOW I DID IT: COLD TURKEY!!!! first: wash all clothes, if they are clean, re-wash them again. second: clean the whole house (we use lysol) and places where you normally smoke, even in the car. third: throw away all ashtrays and any other things associated with smoking. fourth: avoid places where there are smokers. Fifth: be conscious of your daily life habits that make you light up a cigarette, avoid them if possible, if not, minimize them or be conscious of them. How do i do it if i get nicotine attack? i sliced fresh lemon in to small pieces. whenever i get the urge to light up, i reached into a plastic bag of fresh lemon and suck on it and in a few seconds, my urge died down. i take it one fresh lemon at a time. one fresh lemon became one hour, then one day, then one week, then one month and on and on without lighting up. i have not picked up or lighted up a cigarette for about 8 years now and counting. i can taste food better, smell fresh air and don't cough anymore. i'd played with my kids and grand kids longer than it used to. in other words, the plusses out weight the minuses. IF I DID IT, YOU CAN DO IT. GOOD LUCK.

IT IS HARD BUT PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE MOST SUCCESS WITH QUITTING COLD TURKEY BUT I WOULD ALSO GO ON A DIET AT THE SAME TIME BECAUSE WHEN PEOPLE QUIT SMOKING THEY TEND TO EAT MORE! GOOD LUCK!!!

Ask you doctor for a prescription for some Zyban (the pill to help stop smoking), then go out and get some of the gum or lozenges. I tried dozens of times in the 25 years I smoked and this was the only thing that worked!!

My wife is going for hypnosis tomorrow. First of 3 sessions.
Highly recomended by our son.
I'm going to call ahead of time and put a few extra commands in there.

chewing bubble gum will do, but the best thing you can do is believe in your self that you can avoid that kind if vice
