when there was a break I would always smoke one etc.
If you can break the habit of always smoking at these specific occasions and just smoke one when you really
want to things will start getting easier. I noticed myself not even want to smoke many of the times
I did, it had just become a habit since normally I would do nothing at these moments and I somewhat
used it to kill time / be doing something. To break the habit of always smoking at set occasions I'd suggest
looking for a replacement activity to do when you would normally smoke.
PS: don't try quitting multiple things at the same time, for example if you drink as well and you quit drinking
and smoking together it'll be much harder and you'll most likely end up failing.
TLDR; If you let's say smoke a pack a day and you try going from a pack to zero in a day I can almost guarantee you it
will not work out, if you slowly decrease the amount and break the smoking habits it'll be much easier.
Try finding a replacement activity for when you would normally smoke.
Yeah I'm trying to break my habits and not smoke as much as I used too at the times when I used to do so.

My teacher did this also like 3 years ago, and I was surprised its that easy to quit. and For now I have been clean from smoking over 6 months, and its feels awesome. tip for this also: DO NOT BUY OTHER NICOTINE PRODUCTS! its only going to push you abit..
edit + never buy a new pack of cigarettes.. that is the key for success!
Mmm, won't work out so well. I can't simply quit in a day because I smoke 1-2 packs a day it will just make everything worse and I'm not going through detox.

I cant quit smoking right now mainly bevares i dont want to, ive tried once just to see if i could, without really being motivated and ill tell you right now, after 24 hours i felt like a junkie needing a fix, which is what i was.

I'm aware it's highly dependent on my self discipline. My mind is heavily set on quitting, but I still sometimes come back to the though that it's not worth quitting. I'm slowly lowering the amount I smoke each day and I am fully determined to quit no matter how hard it will be or how long it will take me to do so. It's killing me slowly and I can't go on like this anymore. Thanks.

what REALLY wants u to smoke less?
The source of me wanting to quit, is my health. For the past 10 years I have had the mindset that it doesn't matter I'll smoke until I die, but recently I have come to terms that this isn't the way to live. I have been experiencing severe pain in my chest (heart/lung). I can't even run a few hundred meters without losing my breath anymore.
Unless I manage to quit it will only get worse and eventually will kill me.
