I thought of my smoking as a bad habit but whenever I tried to quit my bad habit, I couldn't do it. I assumed I could still take the occasional social smoke (how I started) but every time I did light up, it re-feuled my nicotine addiction. It is a physical and mental addiction but breaking free of that addiction is freedom. There is a lot of info on this site that can help you out but @Doreensfree also brought up Allen Carr. Seek out Allen Carr's book "The Easy Way to Quit Smoking" , either in print or on the internet. I wouldn't say it made quitting "easy" but it really put smoking and quitting in perspective for me. Some didn't like it but it really helped me realize that I gained nothing positive from smoking. It is all negative. Check out that book if you can. I think it will help.

NOPE. Not as in Nope, I don't have any advice. My advice is NOPE - Not One Puff Ever. It isn't just an acronym. It really is the answer to quitting smoking and staying successfully quit. As long as you think one puff will not hurt, you will keep failing. Focus and commit to not taking another puff. Even if it is one hour at a time or day at a time, then focus on the next hour/day, etc. If you never take another puff, the craves will go away with time. You just have to commit to it.
