Stopped a few years ago. Was smoking 40+ a day. Wait until you want to stop, not when people keep telling you to stop.
Decided that my life wasn't going to be ruled by a thin tube of paper and tobacco. Put one in a jar and each time I wanted a smoke looked at the fag and thought, bearing in mind all the real challenges that we face, that a fag was not going to beat me.
Kept cigarettes in house and car so didn't get panicky thinking I can't have one if I really want one. Didn't have one.
Put off cravings with glass of water, walk, or any diversion.
Pig to live with for a couple of weeks but it worked.
