Good luck quitting
Forget willpower though. By thinking willpower you are already looking at an uphill struggle before you've even quit. Sure it can be done but mostly only on a temporary basis, Remember there is nothing negative about quitting smoking. Willpower suggests you are giving something up. Your really not.
When you've made that decision to quit (preferably whilst smoking your last one, rather than at a time when you aren't smoking) say to yourself 'thank god I've finished with these god awful things'. smoke that final cigarette consciously, with a joy of stubbing it out. don't think along the lines of I must never smoke again. Keep it positive all the time. 'yippee I'm no longer a slave to this weed'
Should you have an urge to smoke a few days later say to yourself 'This is the feeling smokers get, I'm now a non smoker' and enjoy saying it. Enjoy being a non smoker and realise that the empty feeling (not to be confused with hunger) is nothing more than a little monster inside you wanting his fix of nicotine. sounds silly I know, but that all it amounts too.
I hope you succeed and avoid those dreadful patches and gum. They only emphasise the problem is with the person. It's really not. Smokers are perfectly normal. They just got sucked in by the biggest scandal known to mankind and all it took was a few cigarettes.
