Change behavior: The hardest part of quitting is the fact that you have strong behavioral rituals around the habit. Things like always smoking when driving or after a meal are examples. You must give your self something else to do at these times. Sugar-free gum can help.

Many: Various smoking cessation support programs all approximately double your chance of successfully quitting. Adding any of the meds available - nicotine patches, lozenges etc., buproprion (zyban) or varenicline (chantix) increases it further - combo of Chantix and a program have about a 40% 6 month quit rate. Acupuncture and hypnosis help some people get started, but don't work well long-term.
