My tips for giving up smoking would be:
* Give yourself compelling reasons to give up, don’t do it for other people, and do it for yourself.
* Set a date about 2 months in advance of when you will give up and tell yourself every day you are going to give up on that day.
* Don’t try patches or gum with nicotine in it. Once you told yourself for two months when you will give up just give up
* Tell yourself every day it is easy to give up smoking; your brain will really start to believe it after a month or so.
* Tell your friends and family you will be giving up on ‘that date’, this gives you a little pressure and shows your friends and family you are committed.
* Break the old patterns of behaviour surrounding your smoking e.g. if you smoked after your dinner at night, go for a walk instead or go clean the bathroom. Pretty soon your mind will get out of the old habit and start
forming new habits.
