If you’re interested in a book to help, Easy Way To Stop Smoking by Allen Carr has helped a lot of people stop. He has a different book about alcohol that helped put drinking in a more healthy perspective for me also.

Allen Carr's book helped me to stop smoking 18 years ago. Never touched a cigarette again. Though I also had a friend who stopped me in a weak moment.

It sounds harsh... but the easiest way to quit ( at least for me 12yrs ago) was to quit while sick. I was too sick to smoke for 3 days, by that time the withdrawal from nicotine was over and I just had to deal with the habit.

Little-known fact: the half-life of nicotine is only 12 hours so you can quit overnight and your chemical withdrawal will be over.

But if you're using it to manage ADHD or uncomfortable feelings then you'll still need something else. I knew someone at work a long time ago who would straight up go for walks throughout the day.

I used the nicotine patches. Worked pretty well. Been nicotine clean since april, and now feel great.
