Always think positive, if you want to stop smoking then you are the only person who is going to make it happen, wether or not you seek advice and help throughout or just for the initial period is entirely your own decision. If you go at it with a negative attitude you are unlikely to stop.

There are many people who say they want to give up, and may even think they want to give up, and who can't.
But anybody who really wants to give up can. And once you really want to, it's not hard at all.

I'm afraid I can't agree with this. If you could offer a smoker a magic pill that would stop them smoking forever then I'm sure that millions would take it, signifying that they do want to quit. Many people try over and over again to stop smoking but they fail, why would they be doing this if they didn't want to quit. Did you ever smoke bas?
And won't stop you smoking, cause everytime you do (re)start you can take that pill again, can't you?Spark123 said:

But not everyone has the determination or the willpower, but thgey would still like to quit. Have you been a smoker?

And failed to give up quite a few times.
Until the point came when I really did want to, not just wished I could because I knew I ought to. That's the difference.
I suspect that a lot of people who say they have tried to but can't are in the position of knowing that they ought to, and on that basis wish they could, but that really isn't the same as wanting to....

I suspect you haven't fully understood the smoking trap. If a magic pill would just be an easy way out, then you're implying that without such a theoretical pill stopping smoking is actually not easy at all. Otherwise why do you need to excercise such steely determination and willpower? And at what point do you overcome the habit? Are you still employing willpower to remain a non smoker, and have spent 17 months tormenting yourself by not smoking?
Roll on the day(or should that be roll up) when the tobacco companies are held to account financially for the global misery they have caused, and continue to cause.
Stopping smoking is definately not easy, I found the habit the hardest bit to break i.e. getting up and having a cig, break times etc. The nicotine side of things subsided over a few weeks, I personally didn't use patches but rode it out cold turkey and would never want to go through that again so I take it as a deterrent from ever re-starting smoking. I think one of the first noticable health things was after a few days breathing becoming easier, no short breath. I wouldn't go as far as saying tormenting myself for 17 months, maybe a short while whilst I kicked the habit. I am now a non-smoker and am unlikely to ever become a smoker ever again. I do not need to exercise will-power now not to smoke, I do not have any desire whatsoever now to smoke ever again.
