try these tips:
-whenever you REALLY crave a cigg, put a timer on for five minutes and dont light it until the timer goes off.. do this and gradually work your way to 10, 15, 20, and even 30 minutes. chew some gum or drink water in the process.
-BELIEVE in yourself, and KNOW that you can quit
-make a list of all the positives of quitting smoking (ex: save money, live longer, dont always have the smell of smoke.. ect) and hang it where you can see it every day.
-set a quit date. write down a date when you will never ever have a cigarette again. write it down, plan for it, and prepare yourself for it.
-exercise
-get a friend to quit with you. knowing someone else is going through something with you can encourage you to keep it up. you could be each other’s place to fall back on
-think of what you are doing to youself every time you light a cigg. whenever you take a puff, think of a negative thing (ex: i am hurting other’s around me, over 400, 000 people die EACH YEAR doing what i am doing right now)
-some people think its easier to quit “cold turkey” than trying to gradually move off it. see what works best for you and come up with your own special tips
-when craving a cigg start cooking a meal that needs maintaining, that way you can’t stop to have a smoke.
-buy one pack of ciggs at a time, and switch to a brand that you dont like
-start only smoking in certain places such as outdoors.
Good luck. Google some more if you need them
LIVE YOUR LIFE! smoke-free BABY!

You should try hypnosis. Lots of people have had success with it but you really have to want to quit. Maybe look on the internet or at the library for photos of the lungs of deceased smokers. They are all black–dead tissue and tar!! : o

I managed once to cut down to five a day using hypnosis but it was a constant struggle and I couldn’t get below it.
Why not use the drugs? They increase your chances of success and make the process of quitting less uncomfortable.

The worse thing is to quit with smoking starts in your head! Its a drug you need it to feel good. You said you enjoy smoking but u need the willing to stop. That means if you try to smoke less and less that wont work because in stressy situations you will smoke more to calm down. If you really want to stop smoking you need to do it without any help.
