As long as you know how to stay motivated and stick to your plan, quitting smoking is as easy as 1-2-3. What makes quitting smoking difficult is that so many people are convinced that they can't quit no matter what they do, because they have tried so many failed methods already. They've developed a mentality of “I've quit quitting”, which can have disastrous health effects later in life.

The best way to quit smoking is gradually, but the culprit in the mess is not the nicotine in the tobacco. This might come as a surprise, but the nicotine is only what keeps you physically hooked to cigarettes. There is also a mental and emotional addiction that needs to be taken into account, as well. Overcoming the physical addiction is quite easy compared to the emotional want or need to have a cigarette and this is evidenced by the thousands of smokers that kick the habit for a few months and then return later due to stress.

The hand to mouth action, the fixation of having something in your mouth that you can puff on is one of the biggest things that keeps smokers hooked on the habit long after the nicotine is gone. It's like the cigarette has become an extension of themselves and that taking it away is like taking away a soul mate. Have you ever had a nail biting habit? Do you know anyone that has? There isn't any nicotine or similar substance involved there and yet, millions of people have a hard time stopping. Pharmaceutical companies would have you believe that this habit can be completely cured by using nicotine patches, gums, and lozenges, but nothing could be further from the truth. These products only have a 2% to 5% success rate.

The key is will power. You have to have the will to follow through with it or you won't succeed. Stop smoking gradually (do so at your own pace) and you will eventually notice a significant difference in how you look and feel. Quitting smoking is an individualized process and what works for you won't likely work for someone else and vice versa, so tailor your quit process to you. Try limiting the number of cigarettes you use in a day or the amount of places you allow yourself to smoke in your home, but whatever you do, don't break your own rules! Because, if it's okay to do it once, it'll be okay to do it again and again until you're right back where you started.
