1. Remind yourself of all the benefits of giving up smoking. And remember, you have to wish to accomplish it for yourself to become successful.

2. Set a date per week approximately in advance to mentally get ready for giving up. Let family and friends know and get rid of any smoking paraphernalia.

3. Febreze the home, get your teeth whitened, wash the couch upholstery, alter the net curtains...Whatever it takes to really get smoking out of your life and begin a fresh.

4. Stop thinking that quitting smoking is hard. It's easy. The tobacco companies would like you to consider it's hard so that you'll be less lured to give up. Try telling yourself that you're going to find it simple to quit smoking, rather than telling yourself it will be hard. Repeatedly telling yourself this will send a message for your subconscious which will then go about making that the reality.

5. Don't bother with nicotine replacement therapy, for example patches or gums. They only perpetuate the addiction and evidence suggests it o nly has a 10% success rate.

6. Hypnotherapy has been shown to be the best approach of giving up smoking; much better than willpower, seeing your GP, nicotine patches, gums, electric cigarettes, all!

7. Work out all the money you'll have saved over a 180 day period, and dream up ways to stand. Visualise yourself on that holiday, with this handbag or wearing that fit. The typical smoker spends around £2000 a year. Imagine what you could do with those funds!

8. Try to break old habits and patterns. If you liked to smoke following a meal, take a stroll instead or chat to someone on the telephone. If you like to smoke when you drink alcohol, go out with some non-smoking friends or somewhere where it's difficult to come out for a cigarette. Eliminate ash trays along with other triggers in your house so that you aren't reminded about smoking constantly.

9. Think about everything you'll be gaining once you have given up smoking. More income, better health, freedom, a longer life, time, etc! Whenever you think about it, you are gaining a lot more than you are quitting. Focus on the positive results you will probably see rather than dwelling on the concept that you have to give something up.
