I smoked for nion 50 years (tried to stop several times before) I have finally done it.
I did it by seeing a counsellor and taking up knitting. Can't smoke while your hands are busy, I never smoked indoors I always went outside away from everyone. So every time I got an urge for a ciggarette I would pick up my knitting.
What did you do? and how many attemps did you have. I had a total of 20 ranging from a few hours to 8 months.
I gave up 2002 after having v bad bout of bronchitis , husb gave up 2007 and always had a jigsaw on jig board on the go for about a year ,which he would go to do after meals to occupy himself as this is when he smoked most, still not smoking and am vv proud of him.
