Wit and Itch is on a distinguished road
Default This is what I did

I smoked a pack a day for 10 years, my husband smoked 3 packs for 20 years. We decided to stop together 18 years ago, and we are still smoke free. This is what we did:
We changed every small thing we did.
Stop with morning coffee, took an orange instead.
After every meal got up and did the dishes, or something engaging.
Avoided places where people smoke a lot
Avoid all activities that used to be connected with cigarettes.
Exercise a lot.
Took a lot of showers.
Stop coffee and alcohol
Change our diet: Stop all the foods that promote need to smoke, heavy spicy meals, sweets. Ate a lot of fruits and veggies. Every time you want a cigarette, take an apple or an orange.
Think one day at the time: I will not smoke today.
As with everything else you must want to do it, and you must believe that you can.
Do it, it is worth it. I wish you luck.
