1) You MUST have made up your mind to become a non-smoker.
2) Decide which night you will give up cigarettes. Do nothing different before bedtime that night.
3)The next morning, after you get up, reach for those cigarettes and put them away, get them out of sight. Also pick up all ashtrays and put them away as well. Do not throw the cigarettes away, know that you always have them should you decide to pick up the habit again, but know for now that you do not smoke.
I was a early teenage smoker, and smoked for over 30 years, never going an entire day without smoking that whole time. I never tried to quit, thought sbout it a few times, but abandoned those thoughts! I had three packs left of a carton when I began to seriously think about stopping. The night I was on my last pack of that carton I made the decision to go for it.
I am happy to say 'I do not smoke' and 'I have no reson to start smoking again' I don't miss smoking at all, the hardest part of it was breaking the habit of 'reaching' for one - not that I wanted to smoke, it was just a habit to reach for one.
Good Luck!
All 6 times I've quit, I've done everything the same the night before and found it easier to NOT smoke in the morning because, realistically, I've been without for 6-10 hours already while sleeping. Working on trying again now...not going well. Good luck to everyone who tries and never quit trying to quit!
