I found 12 useful TIPS

1--- Get professional help

2--- Prepare mentally

3--- Understand what to expect… Most people find the first few days difficult and for some it can be a long struggle, but things will typically start to get better after the third or fourth day. Nicotine withdrawal may make you restless, irritable, frustrated, sleepless, or accident prone - but these things will pass and you will quickly start to feel the benefits.

4--- Make a list of reasons why you want to stop smoking

5--- Consider the money spent on smoking

6--- Set a date… Some people make a New Year’s Day resolution, others pick their birthday

7--- Involve friends or family… If you live with someone else who smokes, it will be much easier to quit if you do it together.

8--- Deal with nicotine withdrawal.. you can roughly double the chances of successfully quitting smoking by using nicotine replacement therapies such as patches, lozenges, inhalers, and/or gum. The idea is to come off nicotine gradually by using a low nicotine dose to take the edge off the cravings

9--- Other treatments may help… Hypnosis, acupuncture or other treatments

10--- Find a (temporary) substitute habit…It might be an idea to use chewing gum, drink more water, fruit juice or tea, or to chew or eat something

11--- Avoid temptation… In the difficult first few days you can change your routine to avoid situations where you would usually smoke.

12--- Watch out for relapse… You will need to be on your guard especially in the first few days and weeks.You could lose everything you've achieved just in a momentary lapse.

Well heres something to help you stop thinking about smoking. Your mom died and left you, if you smoke, you might die, and then you might be leaving your child!

Well at least you want to stop. Get Nicotine patches. Good luck with quitting.

Go to a local support group to help you and team up with a buddy while you are there.

i just quit smoking a few weeks ago and my husband smokes. I know everytime i get the urge i ask the Lord to help me and make me strong. If u dont believe in prayer and the Lord you could speak to your other half and ask him if he wouldnt mind going outside and not smoke close to you
