You have been a smoker for a very long time. You probably smoke at least one pack of cigarettes a day, and you are, quite frankly, sick of it. You are sick of being ostracized by your friends and family members who constantly goad you for smelling like smoke, for having cigarette stained teeth, and it has just become such a social embarrassment to smoke in public (wherever it is still legal to smoke in public, that is).
You have had enough of all of the complaints and embarrassment, not to mention you are worried about the health complications that could arise as a result of years of smoking one pack a day (and of course, if you smoke more than that you are even more at risk). You feel that now is the time to quit, but you are not exactly sure about how to go about it. Here are some tips that you may find helpful.
The first thing you need to keep in mind is that you have been smoking for a very long time, and old habits die hard. However, this does not mean that quitting is an impossible task. You must be able to build up the will power to quit smoking. If you are considering using quit smoking aids, such as nicotine gums and patches, you need to keep in mind that these are only to help you quit smoking.
They will not do the work for you. The gums and patches may only serve to curb one individual craving, and in some cases may even backfire and make you crave nicotine even more. This is why developing the willpower to resist cravings is extremely important, as you will not always have gums or patches on hand to help you resist.
If you find that it is increasingly difficult for you to resist the urge to smoke, then find a friend or relative that has managed to quit smoking, and talk to that person for advice on how they were able to kick the habit. This way you have someone who can relate to what you are going through there for support and encouragement.
You should also keep in mind not to be too hard on yourself if you backslide and light up once. Remember that it is difficult to quit, and you will be tempted to smoke on more than one occasion. Just remember that it is not an impossible task and you will be on your way to a smoke free life.
