Keep One Cigarette

If you are facing extreme difficulty in fighting this habit then keep one cigarette with you all the time. Light it whenever you feel extreme craving.Then extinguish it and keep it for later use.

So keeping a cigarette with you will keep you calm. It will let you know that its your decision. You have the power to smoke it or not. No body is forcing you.

Slow & Steady

Most of the people have weak will power. It is a separate issue, but very common one. So do not test yourself with some huge target which you feel non achievable. Start with slowing things down. You smoke 10 cigarettes a day, slow it down to 7. Its easy. You can easily skip few cigarettes. Once you are OK with 7, slow it down to 5. Remember, the key to bring change is consistency. There is no benefit in strictly stopping cigarettes for 2 weeks and then smoking them again with double frustration. So keep the change slow and easy.
