I think the proper mindset is crucial when quitting cigarettes. Whatever mindset works best for you. For me, it was treating it from a strictly business point-of-view. It's something I've bought regularly for a long time, but now the expense is outweighing the pleasure benefit I get from it. So I cut it from the expense list like I'd cut a cable bill or phone bill and not think about it anymore.
Some things to remember:
It's just a decision. There's no sorcery involved.
Smoking is not an involuntary movement, it requires you to
decide to smoke.
We all have a choice.
It takes 3 days for nicotine to flush out of your system.
You won't die from nicotine withdrawal.
Replacing cigarettes with other nicotine products is not quitting. It's substitution.
Same way I stopped buying a $60 bottle of tequila
every day of the week. Expense outweighed the benefit.
