I have smoked on and off for about 9 years, taking yar and and half off here and there. I was never a heavy smoker, maybe max 4 a day, but it was still hard to quit. You have to want to do it for yourself and not for anyone else. Another tip is to surround yourself with friends who are also non-smokers, this will help. And try not to go to places that people smoke, bars etc.... If that doesn't work, try lolipops, or distraction of any kind.
