If you really believe that you loved smoking like I did I would recommend reading the book "Allen Carr's - The easy way to quit smoking." It's written by an ex smoker and it's really brilliant. It's not full of pictures of your lungs and it's not hypnosis. It's an understanding of smoking and how it works. By the end of the book you will understand WHY you think cigarettes are your best friend and also WHY they are not. It's a good book. I tried to quit over 30 times for a few days, a few months, etc over the years but kept going back to it because I believed I was missing out on something. This book changed that and I haven't thought about smoking the same way since.
One last thing to think about. For the purpose of this next paragraph we'll assume that non smokers are NORMAL.
When we smoke it tastes like $hit but we train ourselves to tolerate it because usually at the time we start it's considered cool to smoke. During that "Tastes like $hit" to "Tastes like heaven" period something happens. Our brains adapt so that the end result is we need to smoke a cigarette to return to normal (like a non smoker). Non smokers feel the way that a smoker who has just smoked does all day long. It's the greatest trick in the book. Take someone who's normal; give them a substance that makes it essential to continuously take it to return to normal.
Now I may know what you’re thinking. Why does it feel so great when you do smoke it? It's like wearing tight shoes so that you can take pleasure in taking them off. When you don't wear tight shoes you are normal. When you wear tight shoes you are not normal but when you take them off you return to normal and guess what? It feels great.
If you remember nothing else remember that. Stay strong.
