I need to quit smoking because my girlfriend doesn't like the smell of cigarettes. My problem is I can't easily quit it and I don't have any idea how to. Has anyone here experienced quitting smoking?

There's a whole industry based around trying to help people quit smoking, so I suspect there isn't really one simple answer that is going to get you off cigarettes over-night.

However, I would say the #1 tactic to stick to is to avoid temptation.

It's MUCH harder than it sounds, but basically try and prevent yourself from so much as seeing someone smoking. It's the visual and scent cues that are often very hard to get over.

For example, even watching a TV show where the characters smoked a lot meant I fell off the wagon. And if you're hanging around with people that are constantly popping outside for a smoke, you are going to find temptation very hard to ignore.

So really try your best to avoid these situations. It's not always practical, but it's what worked for me!
