    Firstly, you really have to want to quit, not think it might be a good idea, really want to quit. Find your motivation, the rest is easy. Without motivation you will probably relapse.

    The first week is easy 'cos adrenaline will carry you through. Identify what situations make you want to smoke and find solutions for those.

    What helped me was deep self loathing at being addicted to cigarettes. Because I thought it might be a problem I switched to cigars (I said I wouldn't inhale but would allow myself a cigar whenever I wanted). I smoked 3 cigars in the first week and threw them away. Have not smoked, or wanted, a cigarette since.
