This is a difficult question
This is a difficult question with as many answers as there are smokers. You can read some motivating stories such as those on www.whyquit.com and you can do all the things mentioned above and still not want to let go of smoking.
For some the key may be to realize that they are worth the effort to quit smoking. It takes a lot of effort to quit, so knowing that your health and the well being of your loved ones hangs in the balance might be what it takes. For others it’s a life change, such as a death of a loved one, which brings them to the point of really wanting to quit.
Once you do want to quit, talk to your doctor and develop a multi-faceted plan that addresses why you smoke, including the emotional, social reasons and physical symptoms.
