Let me ask you a question and if your answer is no then you should close this page immediately. Do you really want to stop smoking? If your answer is yes then you should proceed to read this article because the reason I wrote it is to help people who really want to quit, finally kick the habit. If you are undecided then this really is not for you. If you have your mind set on actually quitting smoking then you should read on.

Now I once read a quip on the internet that really made me smile. Someone once wrote that “Who says quitting smoking is difficult? I have quit it five times and there is really nothing to it”. The funny thing is that this is what normally happens to many people who quit smoking and according to data from the UN, willpower on its own is rarely ever enough to get you over the quitting finish line safely, at least not the first time. The organization estimates that 95% of people who quit smoking will fail and that is one in 20 people. This means that you would have to quit and continue 20 times to actually do it and this could really be a waste of time.

To make quitting easier for yourself you can follow my 3 tips to quit smoking. Now the first two may not work for everybody but for someone who really wants to quit, the third one should work perfectly.

My first quit smoking tip is that you should never buy any cigarettes of your own. It really sounds like folly to someone who does not smoke that someone actually spends money on a habit that shortens his life. Hey, if you are going to smoke, you might as well smoke someone else’s cigarettes and not waste your money on them right? Follow this and you are on your way to quitting.

Another thing you should also not do is to carry cigarettes with you and I will explain why I advocate for these two tips.

First of all, while you may find some people willing to have a smoke with you, and some that will share their cigarettes with you I doubt that this will continue forever. They are costing someone else money and if they find that you are just out for freebies, then you will find your source of cigarettes diminishing which is not a bad thing if you ask me! Another thing is that if you do not carry your own cigarettes it is far less likely that you will be able to smoke on a whim and when the urges are at their highest. When you have no cigarettes to smoke, you just cannot smoke and that is it!

Anyway, these things may not work for everyone, especially people who do not have the genes to stop smoking on their own, or people who claim that they are weak willed.
