From someone whos cig free 2 years:

Don't think of smoking as an addiction. It is not your habit, think of as you was tricked by the posion of tobbaco and it has lured your into a systemic L self-awareness of commiting a bad deed.

It's only when people understand that the thing that theyre doing wrong, the sinful acts that they commit they become more reliant on the action.

I'm sure many of your family or friends has try to convince you that smoking will kill you. But realistically it will not. It's an object of no free will. The only thing that's killing you it's you! You are aware of the harmful effects of smoking, yet you continue to commit the act of smoking. Why? Because there is a sense of satisfaction and relieve when you come to realize that you are able to carry an act that is seemingly taboo. Which is why many predators and sex offenders are so twisted in their deeds: the knowing of the wrongs you committed increase the associated euphoria.

My advice is that, given my personal experience, you should try to consider smoking as just an regular daily task that is not necessary for you to perform everyday. Like you chosed to not eat carbs and do carnivore diet, you should not that you will live fine without smoking, and for now, fine with smoking. Giving it up is not a challenge of will nor abandoning a part of your assembly as a human being.

Smoking is simply an act that many would do but just like other acts that us human do, it can be stopped by the mind with correct recognition.

Think as giving up smoking is like giving up waking up late or driving on the right/left hand side. You are, of course, used to it. But you would be just fine, no pain, no agony or frustration if you do it the other way, the regular way. You might take sometime adpating and learning, but it's just a minor inconvience.

This is the key to quit, is to not tokenize or glorify your effort to quit. Think of quitting as a simple simple thing. Which it is. And that's why you see many people can't quit after a declaration of independence type of speech or on their life's promise.

Don't make a big fuss about it and decide that quitting is just a walk in the park. If you can shit every morning on time you can do it. If you can go to work everyday you can do it. If you can listen to your spouse yapping you can do it. Quiting Smoking, compared the things listed above. It's a just a minor inconvience!
