Christ on a bike, all these replies about "planning" to do this, that and the other. The best thing I've done with my smoking habit? I didn't set stupid goals.

Every time you want a cigarette, tell yourself no. Keep putting it off for as long as possible. When it gets too much, have a cigarette. I did this for 4-5 months and from 12-16 a day, I'm now on 3 or 4. I've come to realise that the more you think of quitting smoking and checking up on your progress, it just makes you think more about cigarettes and gives you more of a reason to have one more pack. Stop it in your own time and don't set stupid goals. Cut down gradually.

gently caress nicotine gum/inhalers, they taste like poo poo. I would (seriously) rather smoke a normal cigarette.
