Pay attention to the following things if you want to find out the best way to quit smoking:

Stop Radically – To have the best chance of success try stopping radically. Also, you can try by setting a day when you will stop. That day can be tomorrow, next month, or a more favorable moment. Slowly stop smoking is not recommended because in this way you are only teasing your body and the desire to smoke still remains.

Changes – Anything connected to smoking must be taken away, from lighters and ash trays to cigarettes. Try to find somebody else to quite you, or tell your friends that you are quitting because they may be able to help. Changing your drinking and eating habits is also one of the best ways of quitting smoking, Eating healthy (lots of fruits) and staying away from pleasure drinks (tea, alcohol, coffee) is very important. Going riding or for a walk or swimming can be a great help if you feel edgy. With the money you save from buying cigarettes buy yourself something as a reward, something like clothes or a CD.

Not giving up – Not giving up while you are trying to quit smoking is the best way. You can try for example to find out alternative behavior so in the future you will be ready to react in a similar situation. If you manage to come through next time in the same situation then you have become stronger.

Dealing with desire – Lasting a few minutes, the desire of a smoke is the first thing you notice when you quit smoking. These moments come around often if you just gave up smoking, but they are really rare if you gave up for weeks or a few months for example. This means that they subside as times go by. The desire will diminish after a while when the periods between the desires will get longer and longer. In your help to quit smoking come your doctor, nicotine patches and self-help books. In health care centers you can find special "quit smoking" programs that are also a great help.

In conclusion, following these steps is the best way to quit smoking. So, first stop radically, then get rid of anything that reminds you of smoking, change your eating and drinking habits and last and not least, never give up.
