i don't really know what o tell you, i've tried to quit atleast 20 times so far... (serious attmepts...) i've done everything from completely cutting myself off from ciagarettes and everything that seems to lead me to smoking, to doing it gradually as well as trying numerous stop smoking aids..

i just don't seem to have enough will power to do it... like... i'll have it in my head to quit, i'll want to quit... but for whatever reason i end up going back to it...
all i can tell you is, prepare for a very treacherous battle... nicotien withdrawls only last about 72 hours, but you will still crave cigarettes years and years later (my grandma quick back when i was like 14 or so, i'm almost 20 now and she still has strong cravings for them) but that's all in your head, that's where will power comes in, you have to be able to tell yourself that it's all in your head, and your body doesn't NEED the nicotien.. just your mind wanting to repeat bad habbits... keep yourself away from smokers, or situatios you often need to smoke in (if your family stresses you out, and makes you need a cigarette to calm down, avoid them as much as possible, shit like that) two more things to know.. 1. if you give in and only smoke one cigarette because "it's only one, and i won't start smoking again cuz i have just one" you are about 95% likely to pick it back up... 2. it takes alot of people multiple times to finally kick the habbit, just because you go back and do it the first time, doesn't make you a bad person... esepecially if it's your first.. if it's first tis' an almost gaurentee you will end up doing it again... because no one is really prepared (or could understand the difficulty involved) for quitting smoking, until they've gone through it.
