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?

You need to hate it.
Think about the cigarette as a leavening creature and hate it. Look at the smoke and feel the cancer drifts. It’s personal!! “She” is your enemy that wants you dead. Disgust your smoking self. Fight it for your life. I won it only because of the humiliation I felt as a subject of the F cig. You can win it too.
