Article: Most people find that just knowing they should quit isn't enough of a motivation to do so. To quit any type of addiction, it's necessary to have a rock solid reason that means more to you than smoking cigarettes ever could. Think deeply about why you personally want to quit. In other words, what's your motivation for living a full, healthy life? Many people can only find the strength to quit when they realize they're doing it for someone they love. Is your inspiration for quitting the fact that you want to live to see your children or grandchildren grow up, or you want to grow old with your partner? Perhaps the reason is that you don't want to ruin your own health. Maybe you have a list of things you want to accomplish before you die, like writing a novel or hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. If you're hard up financially, saving money can also serve as a motivation, especially when you consider all the other things you could be spending it on. Make sure to write down your reasons for quitting as well as the reasons why you smoke. Having this written out will make it easier for you to remind yourself of your reasons for quitting, which is crucial since the psychological aspects of smoking are far more powerful than the physiological aspects. It is helpful to tell people about your plan and let them know when your start date will be. If you tell everyone you know that you're quitting on your birthday, you'll be more likely to hold yourself to it. Tell people who you know will be supportive of your plan.You can also ask friends and family members to help hold you accountable. For example, you can promise to pay them a certain amount of money if they see you smoking. This may help to motivate you to stick to your plan. In the days leading up to your quit date, start getting rid of the stuff that helps support your habit. Toss out all your special papers, your ashtrays, and other items that remind you of smoking. Keeping them around is a sign that you're not really committed to quitting, since you must assume that you'll need the items again in the future. Since even the smell of old cigarette smoke can induce cravings, you might want to freshen up your wardrobe and your home as well. Air everything out, wash all your clothes, and get rid of items that hold the smell. You can either slowly cut back until the day you plan to completely quit, or wait until the date arrives and quit cold turkey. There's no method proven to be successful, so choose the one that best fits your personality. The important thing is to actually quit on the day you have chosen - no excuses. If you choose to taper off, cut back your habit in the weeks before the date arrives. For example, if you're a pack a day smoker, taper down to half a pack a day, then just three cigarettes a day, and during the week before your quit date, just one a day. When the day comes, quit. You can also use products like nicotine gum or nicotine patches to help you make the transition to not smoking more easily. Prescription medications that make quitting easier are also available; talk to a physician for more information. If you choose to quit cold turkey, make sure you have a good plan in place for really doing it when the day comes. It might help to make quitting into a bit of an event. Have friends witness you throwing away the last pack of cigarettes, then celebrate by eating a healthy dinner. Keep in mind that quitting cold turkey may be better because it will get the nicotine out of your system faster than tapering down your smoking.
