Hey Mishu,

First thing you need to do is to make the decision to stop. You really need to want to stop. Once you have decided you are going to stop, you need to make another decision. You need to change your identity to that of a non smoker. I mean, as a non smoker, you would never buy or smoke a cigarette. As a reformed smoker, or a smoker trying to quit, you keep your identity as a smoker, just one who is not currently practicing the habit.

You need to start getting fit, take up jogging or swimming or join an expensive health club so you have leverage on yourself to continue to. You can also start putting that money away in a tin and treat yourself to an awesome spearing holiday with it. I know a guy who smoked 2 packs a day, gave up and now uses half of the $10,000 he was wasting to take him and his wife to Bali every year for a month.

It also helps to imagine every craving that you resist as starving the monkey on your back of it's food. Eventually the monkey dies.

Lastly, you need to make sure you really want to give up because as someone who used to smoke, you can never ever have another cigarette as long as you live, you cannot just have one or two, it will lead to a pack you instead of bludging a smoke of people or trying to ration yourself, you may as well go buy a carton and go the whole hog.

I wish you good luck. I smoked a pack a day for 17 years. It's been 5 years since my last ciggie and I can't stand em anymore.

Focus on bottom time with healthy vital lungs and nailing thast huge Spaniard from a long breath hold.
