You could join a group of friends that do not smoke and that will act as guard dogs every time anyone of you reach for a cigarette. Admittedly, this does not work all the time for quitting, but that small iota of success is worth banking on. If you cared really about how they felt about you, they might be able to lead you away from smoking for life.
Like alcoholism, smoking is a difficult habit to break; however unlike the former, smoking appears to not have as many relapse to the habit.
I think then that you only have to work very hard to break the habit in the first place. I think then you should be able to stay clean. There is no way you can have trouble finding the next technique to try helping you get rid of your smoking habit; there are just way too many of those around. If you have tried one and it didn’t work, you can go on ahead and try another one.
One of them has got to do it for you and help you quit smoking.
Something made you start smoking the first time; you have to find that thing. Whatever it is, you have to get away from it if you are going to stop smoking. Some call it running; I call it facing up to reality. When you have finally stopped the habit, you can come back and face it down.
