Smoking Cessation : Have you considered a smoking cessation program? Most hospitals have them. They can offer education, support and medications to help you quit. Auricular acupuncture also markedly curbs cravings.

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!!
