Gradually cut down: The first step is to gradually cut down one cigarette every two days .This may work if you are highly motivated. If that doesn't work add a nicotine patch or gum and follow the protocols advised with them. There are some other medications which can be prescribed by your physician. The best method is usually to be in a smoking cessation program which may combine the above approach with support.

Smoking cessation: Develop a plan before you stop smoking. Chose a date that you plan to stop. Let your friends & family know so that they can support you. Get rid of cigarettes, lighters, ashtrays etc. Stay away from people who are smoking so that it won't trigger the urge to smoke. Consider using a smoking cessation App, a quit line, smoke-free TXT or joining a support group. Medications can also be used.
