Go cold Turkey or get a prescription for Wellbutrin. Wellbutrin is an antidepressant, one of its common off label use is for smoking cessation. Gums and the patch have a low success rate. People end up smoking anyway and end up with higher levels of nicotine. Exercise, stay busy and change your daily routine. Quitting smoking requires a change of lifestyle. Getting lung cancer is not the worst thing about smoking. Your loved ones getting lung cancer is the worst thing about smoking.
The worst thing about smoking is the smell. Seriously. Don't be motivated by lung cancer. Don't be motivated by fear. Life is better without cigs. You'll have more energy, you'll smell better, your skin and hair will start to look healthier. Seriously. Quitting smoking is a positive step. Do it for you. Not because other people are telling you or because you are afraid.
