coming from smoker here
i think smoking is pretty hard addiction to give up
probably harder than alcohol and cocain or whatever other addictions
main reason is cigarettes play alot on mental part
we do it in our free time .. we do it for pleasure and stress
when we watch movies they're not as fun without smoking
when we're waiting for something .. or listening to music etc
the problem is everything we do is associated with smoking
staying away from those activities is very hard
while maintaining distance from cigarettes
my top quit attempt was about for 6 months
i can offer a tip that is cutting down and not completely quitting
ignore the people who tell you one cigarette is as bad as pack
just don't listen to this nonsense
cut down and log your cigarettes
say if you smoke a pack .. cut down to 10 cigarettes a day
and divide them through out your day and stick to that
and smoke a heavy brand so one cigarette will be enough for dose
then after a while when you're comfortable with your new cut down
go back to half of that .. etc etc etc
keep log of cigarettes you smoke .. and keep logs of time between them
and keep logs of how long it's been in hours
like in last 3 days = 10 cigarettes something like that
it will help the mental part
