The real desire to quit is the first step to quit. You will need to WANT to quit because you want to, not because you are being pressured by someone else. If you do not possess this true desire, you will fail.
Replace the smoking with another physical activity: A friend of mine likes crossword puzzles. Whenever he felt like a smoke, he filled in a few crossword answers. You can begin a book. Start a hobby to keep your hands busy. If you need to replace that oral addiction (hand to mouth) eat celery and carrot sticks or buy a supply of lolly pops.
Change the habits related to smoking: Avoid the store where you usually buy the cigs. Change your daily routine by driving another route. Put all ashtrays and lighters/matches out of sight and clean your car ashtray. During cig breaks at work, take a walk instead or do some research on something you always wanted to learn about. Most people smoke after a meal. Find another activity to keep you busy. Play with the kids, walk the dog, paint the woodwork. Keep busy. One by one, clean out every drawer and closet in your house. That-s some physical things to do to busy your mind.
For your chemical addiction: you will need to do research to see which drug will work best for your addiction.
Financially: Take the money you would normally spend on cigs and save it in a specific place. Add to the funds daily. And, I don-t just mean the cig cost. What else do you usually pick up while buying cigs? A coffee? A candy bar? A soda? A six pack? A friend stopped going to the convenient store where he picked up his cigs every morning. He not only saved the cost of cigs, he saved on all the other stuff he picked up at the same time. About $10.00 +/- a DAY!!
He also began either giving up those other things or bought them at the grocery store. Also, he kept busy in the morning, as he learned to make his own perfect cup of coffee at home.
Put a photograph of your loved ones where you can see them often. This should be a powerful reason for you to want to live long enough to enjoy life with them.
My mother died of lung cancer (smoking) 20 years ago when she just turned 49. Only someone who knows what it is like to loose a loved one over such a damning habit understands my pain. There are people dying every day over incurable diseases who are dying to live.
People who smoke are living to dye because of the hold this addiction has.
have a chat with your gp ask him for zyban, you will need a good check up first but it worth it, set a date tell your family and friends and follow the instructions. i tried it and half way through the course i did not want a cigarette. i had been smoking for 30 years and at least 20 per day and that was 2 and a half years ago. go for it, good luck.
I dont think their is a best way to quit, this would depend on your body and how it reacts to what youre trying to do.
Methods are comparing apples to oranges in imo

first you have to wanna quit smoking
second go cold turkey
third stock up on fruit,gum,water and healthy food but the main thing is you have to wanna quit.
For me, 36 years smoker, switching to e-cigarettes did it in 2 weeks painlessly.
Research them first look for forums etc.
Good Luck
never smoke in the first place and try replacing smoking with something you like to eat or drink
