Do Not Judge. ''You don't know what storm Hey Ryo,

When it comes to something like this, I understand that sometimes the same way to quit doesn't really work for any two people. I can't say, I've never smoked, I have supported others in trying to quit and watched both my parents give it up (I was born with asthma they got serious when they saw it was making me very sick).

I think that remembering your children is a fantastic way to start and stay motivated. I've also heard other things perhaps you can take into consideration or try. I've heard/read:

-- Less and less amount of cigarettes on you at a time and as time goes on lower the number.

-- Keep something in your pocket/possession that you can reach that can keep your hands busy when you want one like silly puddy, a pen to click, ect. Keeping your hands busy can help keep attention away from it.

-- Have you considered using the vapor cigs? Less nicotine from what I understand.

That's all I got off the top of my head. Would you consider writing a list? Perhaps something to write on to reflect what you are going through when you want one the most? Perhaps reflecting on the list can help you focus on what you are going through when you want it the most and come up with ideas to try around those situations.

Remember, the first day you stop you are already a day healthier. Take it slow and work your way up.

Sure thing!

Go to a sauna for three days. You will sweat out most of the nicotine and it will be 90% easier!

My mother said she quit smoking by smoking one sigarette less everyday..
Can't imagine my mother smoking though..

Keep gum, mints, or little candies on you.
Don't keep full packs/cases with you.
Figure out if there's a certain time or place you smoke more and work to do something else to pass the time. Eg if you smoke on break at work, take a book or download a game on your phone so you're less tempted to go outside.
I personally wouldn't recommend the e-cigs unless you're a very heavy smoker. There's debate about how safe they actually are, so if you can quit without them it may be a wiser choice.
Drink water.
Keep track of how much money you spend on cigarettes. Sometimes you lose sight of how much nicotine actually costs.
Will power is key. Don't give up!

That's all I got. Best of luck to you! 3nodding
