Doctor will be able to give you drugs that will help you deal with the cravings.
Quit Completely
There is no point in reducing the number of cigarettes that you smoke per day. This will maintain nicotine levels in your body with hardly any benefit. Smoking needs to be stopped completely.
Keep yourself Occupied
It is important to find an alternative to your habit of smoking. Take up a new activity that interests you. Painting classes, mechanic classes, carpentry, etc are good options to choose from.
But if you could join some game like basket ball, volley ball, golf, etc then it would be great. Physical activity would allow your body to produce chemicals that help you deal with the withdrawal symptoms.
Set a Deadline
You will need a lot of will power to quit smoking once and for all. You know yourself best so you should be able to decide a day for yourself to quit it.
You will need to be self motivated.
Do not fall for the cravings and think that one cigarette is not going to harm.
Think About those around you
Passive smoking is as harmful as direct smoking. Think about the health hazards you are exposing your family and friends to. Is it worth it?
Smoking has no benefit no matter what you read and hear. It is not helpful in reducing weight so do not fall for the habit just to lose weight.
