...and I managed it to STOP smoking from one to the other day. How? I just believed in myself! It's that easy!

Fully agree. Stopping smoking was easy for me once I had decided I actually wanted to stop. I used to smoke between 2-3 packs a day. Benson and Hedges only. At the time they were around 5 pounds a pack. I used to do a lot of driving in my job, around 1000-1100 miles a week. I was on my way home Friday afternoon and had pulled into the service station to fill up and get my 3rd pack of the day. As I was filling the car a guy rode in on a new Yamaha R1.  It looked beautiful. It then hit me that if I didn't smoke I could have one.I was actually spending more on smokes than I was on my mortgage.
Tthat,s exactly what I did. I didn't get that 3rd pack and the next day went to the local Yamaha shop and got myself an R1. I never had another cigarette since and know that I never will. even in times of high stress and heartache I have never had the urge to have another cigarette. It was the best thing I ever did even though I used to enjoy smoking.
As said all it takes is for you to REALLY want to stop. Once you7 do it is the easiest thing in the world.

It was the same for me. Stopped cold turkey after decicding no longer to smoke . I smoked for 33 year about 30 cigs a day. The first week I even had an open packet of LM Light in home. I am a happy non-smker for 2,5 years now and it was one of the best decisions I ever made.

Stopping cold turkey is the best method - I agree 100%.

If you need help, read the book "Allen Carr's Easyway To Stop Smoking".
I did it after many years of smoking.

VERY TRUE...
