I quit 6 months ago after smoking for 7 years.
my advice is this. don't lie to yourself, if you're ready to quit, quit. if you're not ready to quit, don't even bother.
if you take the steps to quit, realize that there may be moments of weakness and allow yourself to have these moments. if you don't you will mentally feel that you failed and you may end up smoking again.
keep in mind that smoking offers you nothing in return. it may make you feel more relaxed and less edgy and more calm, but really craving nicotine is what brings on the cause for needing to be more calm.
and another thing that i did was set an activity goal for a few months in advance. i wanted to play in a flag football league but couldnt as an active smoker. so that desire to play the game helped aid me in quitting. and it paid off.
if you don't succeed this time around. dont worry. its completely possible to give up smoking.
