Buy a carton of the smokes you are smoking or your favorite cigarettes. Store the carton in the freezer. Tobacco will stay fresh in the freezer for long periods of time. Look at this as your bank account of smokes. Your mind will be at ease knowing you can tap your bank for a pack when needed. The idea you have to stop at the store or go out of your way will go away changing the habit. 

Now pick a mantra to use for meditation to help change your mind and the habit that triggers the desire to smoke. Mine was "this is killing me" "smoking is killing me" "this cigarette is going to kill me" - because they are and you need to be honest with yourself to change the behavior. 

I quit cold turkey with a carton in the freezer half full. It stayed there for around a year before I was sure to get rid of it. Smoking was the hardest drug "nicotine" is so addictive and your friend when up or down. I smoked for a total of six or seven years. I started in my early 30s when I was trying to quit drinking. these years were broken up so many times to trying to quit. 

I was able to quit forever almost 10 years ago coincidentally about the time I got divorced. Yes, I still think about smoking and I remember   "this cigarette is going to kill me". You have to embrace satisfaction and consider longevity is more important. 

Dying is a choice. The lifestyle we chose determines our time on earth. I can tell you about eternal life and believers live their lives today as if we are going to live forever. 

Breath easy. 

A Chinese client once told me every step in a staircase adds 7 seconds to your life. 

This is what each cigarette takes from your life. 

11 minutes
Every cigarette a woman smokes reduces her life by 11 minutes. Each carton of cigarettes thus represents a day and a half of lost life. Every year a woman smokes a pack a day, she shortens her life by almost 2 months.
