How to Stop Smoking Easy
There are many ways to stop smoking easy but in this article we will talk about the 3 most common ones. They are all based on you, the smoker, realizing that:
1. It does nothing for you – except ruin your health. This is something you’ve probably known for a while now. Heck, it might even be written in big font on each cigarette pack you buy, depending on your country of residence. So time to ring the reality bell; time for YOU to really, truly see how cigarettes are ruining your health: they make if harder for you to breathe; they make you cough in the morning (and probably throughout the day); they make your skin look older, and the list goes on and on. Once you realize – really take a moment and ADMIT these effects of smoking – there’s a great chance you’ll find that stopping smoking is really easy.
2. You do NOT like cigarettes or smoking. If you’re ready to take the bull by the horns, you should be able to admit that no, cigarettes do NOT have a good taste. Just like I and many ex-smokers did, you probably like to think that you like it. It definitely makes a good excuse for smoking: “No dear, I’m not addicted to nicotine. I simply really, really enjoy smoking!”. Chances are you’re lying to yourself in the first place. I remember I never really liked smoking – unless I somehow felt I needed to do something damaging to myself.Try this: light up a cigarette (if you haven’t yet ceased smoking); take the first puff and imagine that gray smoke going down your lungs. Compare the taste of the cigarette to something else you (really) like, like a fruit, dessert or your favorite dish. Does it compare? Are you really getting the same pleasure, and do you really feel like this is what you want to taste for the rest of your life? (I often get this feeling when I eat something I love – like I never wanna eat anything else). You will need to really become aware of this – that you don’t actually smoke because you like the taste, but because you have a nicotine addiction, that REQUIRES you to smoke. This is another highly effective method to stop smoking easy, from what I’ve seen in myself and many other people I helped or watched quit.
3. You are not (yet) the one in control – nicotine is. Although this may seem silly at first, it’s important that you realize it, in order to really succeed to stop smoking easy, with a very healthy approach. So no, you’re not the one who decides WHEN to smoke. Once you’ve reached the point of addiction, you’re no longer the one deciding “I will use my drug now”. It’s the lack of the drug that causes the cravings that then make you act (in the case of nicotine) all edgy and agitated – and you eventually put it out – by smoking. Have you ever been in a really cold weather, and light up? I used to think I WANTED to have my hands freezing to smoke a cigarette outside: I did not. It was simply a craving I had to put out. So I was “taking one for the team” – or more precisely, “taking one for nicotine” 
I would never have stood out in a blizzard and eat a mint chocolate; or have a hot cocoa. I would have waited to get home or to a warmer place, and then do it. But with smoking, you cannot decide on this – unless you decide it’s time to take on the battle and fight this drug. And again, once you’ve realized that all the “reasons” you use to light up are in fact “excuses” to feed the addiction – you’re one step closer to becoming free. You’re one step closer to stop smoking the easy way.

Realizing them all will make you not only a powerful player, but the winner in this game. Take them in slowly, and start digesting them one by one. Eventually, they will lead you to a really fast and enjoyable method to quit smoking easy.
