How to stop smoking

Introduction

I myself am lucky enough never to have needed such how-to advice. But I finally constructed this little theory after dealing with many failed attempts by friends and bf's.
It sounds silly, but it works.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Steps

1

Step One

Decide that this is ACTUALLY something you want. Not something you know you SHOULD do. Decide that you realize you're going to die otherwise.
2

Step Two

Go on youtube and watch as many anti-smoking commercials as you can stomach. I find the ones which feature ex-smokers with those throat vibrators are especially effective.
3

Step Three

Smoke your last cigarette but keep the box. Stash nicorette gum in the box and chew when you're getting the nicotine crave.
4

Step Four

Maintain your EXACT smoking routine--go outside when the other smokers do, scurry outside after your dinner, etc. Do just what you would do if you were actually smoking--but instead of lighting up, chew your little, lemony gum. Chew it for exactly the amount of time that you would smoke--then spit out. Keeping these physical habits allows you to break the actual addiction without giving up everything.

Overall Tips & Warnings

  • Don't smoke those nicotine-free cigs--they won't allow you to break free of the hand/mouth comfort.

Step One

Reduce stress - Stress contribute the most why people start smoking at the first place
