One of the most important keys in quitting a bad habit is fully realising there is no way ahead of you if you keep on going. Most people who smoke are misinformed. Yes they know how bad it is for health and sometimes they feel bad, but they don't realise this to its fullest extend. Public health informations focus on lung cancer, but this is by far not the most important effect of smoking. Virtually every disease is in some way linked to smoking. Smokers are more prone to airway infections. Smokers have increased risk of heart-and-vessel diseases. And not just slightly increased - but: like 10 times. Virtually every smoker suffers from COPD, a blend of chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Even bladder cancer is largely linked to smoking. Look it up if you're interested in learning more, this board has little room for extensive explanations.
So, if you really realise what you need to do, you can do it. Cold turkey.
