The worst thing you can do towards quitting smoking is to put it off. Setting quit dates and making doctor's appointments are all just ways to put off something that you've built up a fear of doing. Quitting smoking isn't hard though, you just have to go about it the right way!

The reason why so many peoples' quit smoking attempts fail is because they try to push it off to another day or, even worse, try to cure it with nicotine replacements and the like. A quick glance at the success rates (Hint: they're under 10%) and the complete lack of any guarantee should be enough to turn any sane person away, yet people keep buying them.

Setting a quit date is even worse, because it builds up even more apprehension towards quitting smoking, making you savor those last few cigarettes before you finally "give them up" from your life. The most important thing to remember when quitting smoking is that you aren't giving something up, you're just getting it out of your life. You don't like smoking, so there's no reason to give it any sort of importance.

To quit smoking, you need to learn just how cigarettes have gained a hold on your mind. Right now (but not for much longer!) you're convinced that you need a cigarette right after you get off work, or when you're feeling stressed. The key to quitting smoking that nobody ever talks about is that re-training your mind away from these simple connections is all that you need to do to quit!
