But mainly you really have to want to quit, else it wont work.
Good luck ;-)

great tip... though i dont like the taste of zoethout
i finally attempted to quit a while ago when i really wanted to. 3 days without a cig and i noticed it was really easy. But then i thought hm one cigarette wont hurt. It wasnt a severe craving, i just felt like smoking a cig and thought it is so easy to quit, why would i smoke the rest of the pack if its so easy? But its the habit of smoking when you have access to them. Smoked the rest of the pack in 2 days and now im full on smoking again...
and you can only quit if you want to! I really wanted to quit so thats why those days seemed so easy, then i started thinking 'oh it doesnt hurt if i smoke one' and then its over.
Dont even attempt to quit if you are not 100% behind it.
