Man this is probably 1 of the best decisions you'll ever make in your life. If you quit, stay quit!
I quit about 6 years ago along with drinking and doing drugs and I can tell you I've had 1 heck of a ride through out it all!
First off, keep yourself busy. Just do stuff with friends but avoid unhealthy people or situations like bars and smoking pits. Go watch a movie with a friend, eat something healthy or chew some gum. Not nicorette either. Just reg gum!
Drink water!!! Cut out any soft drinks, sugary stuff and as much caffeine as possible. I mean, have your morning coffee but limit yourself to 2 cups a day! Try drinking some tea, it will cut down some of the stimulants that get your blood flowing and make you crave a cigarette. But water flushes the system bro. It detoxifies you and helps your body get back to normal functioning.
Lastly, try to incorporate as little stress as you can into your life. I'll tell you right now, stress is one of the biggest factors to why people smoke. If you can take up something like running or working out to release tension (not just porn and masturbation either) you'll feel 100x better and you'll get to a point where you realize that you enjoy feeling this way so much that smoking would only block you off from this natural high your getting.
I know these sound extreme and probably over the top, but it's only little tweaks in your everyday life. If you really think about it, you have more time in your day than you realize. Mad these things can be incorporated easier than you think. Plus, you don't have to do it all at once. Just take what you can and leave the rest. It'll all come full circle as you continue.
But most importantly, just QUIT! Don't do it by cutting down, patches and nicotine gum. Just stop and get the fuck out netcees. Enjoy your life. I rarely get on here and post but when I see something like this, I make an effort to say something to peeps who wanna better themselves.
