Most importantly, make sure that you are committed to quitting ... if you secretly really don-t want to quit, it will jeopardize your chances of success. Also be sure that your family and friends know that you-ve decided to quit, so that they can support you. That said, you may want to try asking your doctor about prescribing Welbutrin. It-s been proven to reduce cigarette cravings and also minimize, if not eliminate, the majority of withdrawal symptoms. For the first few weeks of taking Welbutrin, I-d recommend weaning yourself down on how many cigarettes you smoke. Try taking 1 or 2 out of the pack at the start of the day and just increase that amount until you are down to 0. You may also try Quest cigarettes - they are low-tar cigarettes specifically to help wean you off the nicotine until you quit completely (in 3 stages). It-s important for you to reprioritize your spare time that would have been spent smoking. Try a new hobby, get out and - walk/exercise, read ... anything. Remember that cravings only last a couple of minutes ...

Check with your doc. There is a new drug called CHANTIX (www.chantix.com). You must set an agenda, clean your house just like has been said before. Chantix will help.
talk to your doctor and see or just throw the pack away and compensate with gum or something.
Quit / doin-t start lol. will power. u-re young U have it right...
you have to do it your self i went to a school to study and its addictive you have to stop your self. try it
Pick a target date. You must COMMIT in your mind that upon that date, you are no longer a smoker. Not an -ex-smoker- but a -non-smoker-. I recommend Nicotine gum while overcoming the physical addiction, but it really is a matter of decision and discipline. Avoid situations, until you have broken the psychological addiction that will encourage it. Avoid standing with friends smoking. Replace ritual times for smoking with a new ritual. Affirm to yourself all your reasons for quitting on a daily basis. Free breathing, money saved, longer life, better overall health, no stink, which is REALLY easily picked up by non-smokers. I know this because this is how I succeeded. Hope this helps.
You just say -I QUIT- and tat-s it
stop buying cigarettes and get hooked on something like sunflower seeds that helped my cousin
You just have to play brain game with the cigarettes...as they are very strong...try to ignore the side effects and when you feel down just get an apple or any other fruit..I used to eat lots of salty seeds and my tongue used to become sore..which kept me away from the cigarettes...the most difficult is the first month and at the end of the 3rd month..once you pass them you are free from your once best friend! just prove who is the boss of your mind and body!
