Motivated: You are correct cigarette smoking is very harmful to your health. Typically if you were this motivated to quit smoking trying the cold turkey method is the very best. Studies have shown that the cold turkey method is even more successful than some of the drugs that are available today. If you are not successful then you should talk to your doctor about potential medication therapy.

Cold turkey.: As far as quitting without any nicotine replacement, the cold turkey method is great. But plan it ahead of time. Pick a quit date in advance, maybe a meaningful date like a birthday or holiday, and gather people who are aware of your attempt that you can call upon for moral support if you start to falter. Good luck!! You smoke so little, should be pretty straight forward.
