First, implore Jehovah God in prayer and tell him about your desire to quit smoking and solicit his help in doing so.
Second,gradually cut down on the number of cigarettes you smoke in a day. For instance if you were smoking say 20 sticks a day you can gradually reduce it to 15 then 10 then 5 then 2 until you stop smoking.
Third,cut off association with your old friends who are smokers and can easily lure you back into the habit.
Fourth, make new friends who are non smokers and who will encourage/stand by you as you wish to stop this habit.
Fifth, Avoid tempting situations.Do not go to places you know people smoke.
Sixth,Tell people around you of your desire to quit your old habit and do not be ashamed to reject a cigarette given to you.
Last but not the least meditate on this Bible verse;2nd Corinthians 7:1
Wish you all the best in your journey to quit smoking. You've made the right decision and may Jehovah God help you to shake off this habit.

I swear accepting Jesus doesn't solve the problem...
I've been to God ...I beg him to help me quit ... But this is 12 years now ... Still smoking..
Though .... I quit Cigar 3 years now ...I didn't turn back ... It's only God I can attribute it too....I enjoy smoking ... Weed .. SK ..only ... Gauge Ur head ... I can't stand 2 bottles of stout ... Ii will throw up ...all night ... So what can I do ...

From what you have said you don't believe Jesus can help you, that's the reason why you still have this problem. If you genuinely accepted Jesus into your life, then you need to believe God's Word and stay on it for your deliverance....Let the Cross crush your appetite for cigarettes. You should study and meditate on Galatians 2:20 and Romans 8:11 for as long as you can

not all the above opinions are useful but check the trends very well you will locate some opinions that can help. nevertheless, nothing is in IMPOSSIBLE its all start from your MIND. God said son, give ur heart unto me. If you make up ur mind, with the supports of some useful opinions here and with God all things are possible. Now that you want to quit God will help you. But are you born again that is the starting POINT.

Always picture when you'll be so lonely on that hospital bed dying slowly of a lung and intestines damaged by your smoky habits... Think about the people you'll cause lotta pains,the fears in their eyes of the prospect of loosing a loved one, think about the unending tears that will run down their cheeks and knowing fully well that you caused them that...
It worked for me so it would definitely work for someone else... quit smoking plssssssssss!

I quit in Jesus's name!

I did quit. I can tell u it's the best decision u've made.
Yes you can and this is how I did quit.
I prayed without ceasing even when I had occasional...
I told myself I am made for more than this. My body is d temple of d Lord, I can not stuff d temple of d Lord with worthless substance. I had lots of ground nuts n bubble gum especially in the mornings, after meals n at night.
CHANGE YOUR ASSOCIATION: Avoid the smoking gang or anything that reminds u of smoking. This is so critical, it will make or mar u. You can't say u wanna quit n have a lighter, cigarette lying around some where in the open or tucked away somewhere u can reach. Also avoid places that remind u of smoking.
GET BUSY: This works, sometimes you will be so busy u won't realize how far time has gone. I got involved with church activities n was always busy n made some new friends. I also watched a lot of movies, read, listened n watched faith materials. Exercises also works. Bottom line is, be busy don't be idle so that your mind will be drifting towards it.
USE THE POWER OF THE MIND: The difference between d poor n d rich is the mindset and that's what will determine how quick you will quit. As a man thinketh in his heart so is he. If u believe u can, u will. If the mind can CONCEIVE it, the man can ACHIEVE it. If u want to talk or chat u can hit me up 07034278376.
You have won the battle.
Congrats!

Dear Op. Thanks for posting this. As a smoker myself I understand what you are going through. I've had ups and downs in my pursuits for a smoke free life. Though It's not easy but with determination and the knowledge of a better life after one is free from this addiction, things should work out fine... You are a motivation to others like me for coming out to seek a solution ...

‘Lord, I Cannot, But You Can!’

Philippians 2:13
for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.

Have you ever tried to break a bad habit on your own? You probably found that when you tried to stop it by sheer willpower, you saw improvement for a while, and then bounced back to square one. Worse, you found yourself binging on the very thing that you were trying not to do. And your condition is worse than before you started your “I’m going to quit” program!

The changes were temporary because it was you doing it.

A church member who had been a chain-smoker used to believe that with willpower, he could quit smoking. He would tell himself, “If there is a will, there is a way!” But he discovered that with willpower, he could stop smoking for a week or two, and then he would succumb to the pull of nicotine again.

When he turned his life over to God and learnt about God’s grace, he told God, “I realize that I cannot stop smoking. I cannot, but You can break my habit, Lord.” And every time he lit up, he would say, “Lord, I am trying to stop smoking, but I cannot. I am trusting You.” He would even say, “I am still righteous because of Jesus’ blood.”

Well, in the very same year, all his cravings to smoke vanished! When asked how he succeeded, he would say, “It is entirely God and none of me! It is all by His grace.” This man lost all the desire to smoke. That is true transformation.

When you receive the grace of God to do for you what you cannot do, you will experience effortless and permanent change on the inside, which in turn changes your actions on the outside. The Bible tells us that God works in us to give us both the will and ability to perform what He desires. It is God who removes the old want tos and gives us new ones. And He even gives us the power to carry them out!

Beloved, look to His grace to do what you cannot do. Say, “Lord, I cannot, but You can!” Then, what you experience will not merely be behavior modification, but true and lasting inward transformation!

Thought For The Day
It is God who removes your old want tos and gives you new ones.

What has that got to do with the advice I gave Op? Besides if you think smoking is sinful then you are wrong.... only excessive smoking is bad and it is also dangerous to the health and quite addictive on those grounds it is not advisable to do....but as for being sinful it is not....just as alcohol is not sinful....so don't tell me about priests who smoke....it has nothing to do with the advice I gave. .thank you

The first step towards quitting smoking is to convince yourself of the negative implications of smoking; make a list and paste it in strategic locations in your office, car, home, etc.

Secondly, inform your family and acquaintances that you want to quit and avoid places/occasions that trigger the habit.

Thirdly, motivate yourself by saving the money you spend on cigarettes in a transparent jar. Over time, you would be amazed at the amount you have saved. Use the money on other useful stuff for yourself, wife or kid(s).

Another key thing to consider is how to manage the cravings. For this, there are a lot of over the counter products and nicotine replacement products to help you quit gradually.
