You can ask your doctor to give you something for it. There is a new medication called Chantix. You take it twice a day, morning and night. It confuses the endorphines in your brain and makes you not even want to smoke. The first week you start it, you smoke like usual. then the second week, you slowly cut down until you-re not smoking at all. People usually take it for 3-6 months. my boyfriend took it for a while and it really worked well!! until... he lost his insurance couldn-t get his refill and now he-s smoking again. uugghhh!!!!! but anyways, talk to your doctor and see what you can do!! Good luck!!
First, smoking is a habit, and we all know that habits are hard to break. Think about when you need to smoke.
Second, we know smoking is a psychological habit, but it is also a physical addiction. The fact is that about 90% of those who smoke, are clinically addicted.
The nicotine of a cigarette actually causes a temporary -high-. When you deprive your body of the nicotine, you actually cause physical withdrawal symptoms, such as severe cravings.
So it really makes sense why smokers have such a difficult time. Smokers are faced with a psychological and a physical discomfort.
I am using an audio hypnotherapy program on CD to assist me in breaking the habit and having success. You can get more information here:
Smoking is more of a psychological addiction than a physical one. If you really want to quit you must discover the reasons why you smoke and then eliminate or change these thought processes. As soon as I dealt with my psychological reasons for smoking I quit, first time and more importantly for good.
Once you deal with the psychological side of smoking it makes the quitting process easy, no matter your level of addiction.
All that is required is a bit of motivation (you have that already with family history of cancer), self belief and determination. I agree with a previous answer, you are not extremely addicted. If you think this you are holding yourself back because you are placing unnecessary negative beliefs in your head. Positivity is key to quitting.

Good Luck and Good Quitting
I-ll tell you from personal experience, and the experience of several people I know that stayed quit: Cold Turkey.
It-s not fun, but it is the quickest, most successful way I know of. Think of it like taking a Band-Aid off - the quicker you do it, the less you draw it out, the better. Nicotine replacement methods maintain your chemical addiction, and that-s not what we want.
You will need 3-4 days. Take a weekend and a vacation day or two. Nicotine leaves the body after about 36 hours. Stay home, don-t drink alcohol, don-t watch movies where someone may smoke. STAY BUSY ALL THE TIME. Play video games, learn something, build a puzzle,just keep your mind off of smoking.
Try and remember - the first 3 days are the hardest. Every day after that, it gets easier. Trust me. After 3 days, the nicotine is gone. The physical addiction will go away surprisingly quickly. The mental addiction varies, but becomes easy to manage.
All this requires is a lot of willpower for 3 days, and a little after that. I smoked for 9 years and am one of the least motivated people I know.
Good Luck!
First, you are not extremely addicted or you couldn`t go hours without smoking. Secondly, you must really want to quit or you won`t succeed. And last there are smoking aids that make quitting easier and your local hospital should have smoking cessation classes for you to attend where you are given pointers on how to help break the habit.
It shouldn`t be that difficult for a 2 yr. smoker as opposed to someone who has been smoking for 25 yrs. Good luck.
I don-t know if you-re able to get these, they-re expensive..
They-re called Chantix, they-re pills that you take and it like ELIMINATES the urges.
I worked for me!
I-m wishin- you luck
