I just quit on New Years 2008. I also smoked since twelve. The problem is that I've quit before, and said I'll never smoke again. This time I hope to keep my promise. I went cold turkey but there is a product called Chantix. It works well, from what I've heard.

Only a portion of addiction is chemically based. A big piece of the puzzle is habit and social setting. If cigarettes were highly illegal and nobody could smoke in public, or in their backyard, wouldn't people smoke less? In the same vein, alcohol isn't "chemically addictive" yet millions of Americans suffer from alcohol addiction.If I remember the statistics correctly, about 17% of American soldiers in the Vietnam war used heroin with some regularity, but less than 10% of that 17% came back to civilian life with a heroin addiction. Likewise many people get addicted to painkillers when they are prescribed the drugs to use in their every day life. But very rarely do people get addicted to the same chemicals when they're administered in a hospital setting.I know that I smoke more when I hang out at school because of the social experience (community college). Likewise I don't smoke when my Dad is around and awake because he disapproves (but knows).Changing my habits helps me cut down. I hang out at the smoking huts less. I keep in mind that the smell of cigarettes puts some people off. I try not to have that one last cigarette. I also don't smoke in my car to keep it from smelling like ash, for the comfort of my passengers - this definitely reduces my cigarette consumption.What really helped is when a girl I was involved with came home from school on thanksgiving break. I went from 3-5 a day to 3-5 that week without much hassle because I had good motivation to cut down (she doesn't approve of tobacco).Hope I've been some help.
