A combination of smoking
A combination of smoking cessation and behavior modification, after the first few tries, worked for me. Look for a program that addresses the physical and emotional attachment to smoking. The American Cancer Society (ACS) recommends choosing a program that has a minimum of four 15 to 30 minute sessions and is at least two weeks long, the longer the better. This gives you time to experience all the withdrawal symptoms in a controlled environment. Check with ACS or your local health department for more information.
There are several different types of nicotine replacement drugs, such as the patch and inhalers, and online tools and discussion, like what is found on this site, to help you quit as well. Check with your doctor before starting any of these treatment options. Also, don’t be afraid to try the same thing twice, sometimes the second, or even the third time is the charm.
