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.

Third strike and I was finished.

Took up candle wicking (very portable) to keep
hands busy.

Did it cold turkey, it was hard but SO WORTH IT

That was 30,years ago.

Bravo,Cheers,Hooray and God Bless all that make it
