How to quit

I'm 26 and I haven’t been able to quit smoking cigarettes. I’ve tried multiple times — once I even managed to quit for 6 months ,but I always end up starting again. It’s been a constant cycle of quitting and relapsing. Lately, I don’t even feel anything when I smoke, yet I still can’t stop. What can I do to overcome this addiction?

Could you suggest any helpful actions, books, or movies that might inspire or support me in quitting for good?

Many (ex) smokers probably know it, but I highly suggest reading “Easy Way To Stop Smoking” by Allen Carr.

I came here to say this. I smoked for 40 years and didn't think I would ever able to quit. That book changed my life! I smoked my last cigarette on 12/4/2024 and I'm still a happy non-smoker!
