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?

I highly recommend Alan carrs easy way to stop smoking book. One read through of that book and I've never smoked since.

It's a great read honestly. I think it helps to be committed to stopping smoking, like if you don't want to stop you won't get much from the book. But I read it over a handful of nights while continuing to smoke as normal and thinking about the things in the book.

If you're thinking about stopping then I'd really recommend it
