I can understand why some people start smoking. It might seem cool, and you might start smoking so that you can fit in. Smoking is actually just the opposite of being cool. Actually, it is very bad for system, and can cause you to really have health problems later. There are ways you can stop smoking if you started it because of it being cool, or for whatever reason. A lot of people are trying to stop smoking right now, and I encourage you to join in on it.

First, research online and find some online groups of people that are trying to stop smoking. Belonging to some sort of club or group is really wonderful because you get the back up supported needed. You all can understand what is going on, and can talk with each other about it.

You might crave smoking when you are coming off. One of the ways to help with this craving is by getting a patch. This patch is very easy. You just stick it on you, and it will help for many hours. The patch helps reduce the cravings.

When you are wanting to smoke, instead of getting food, get a drink like coffee. Don't get wine, or beer when you are craving because you don't want to start another bad habit. That's why you avoid food.

You should write down positive affirmations, and sayings that will help build up your spirit. Say these affirmations every day. Write down why you want to stop smoking, and say the reasons allowed when you say the affirmations.

Furthermore, have a spirit of victory, and not defeat. Know that you can overcome this, and that it might take time but in the end it will be better for your health, and spirit.
