It is quite possible to stop smoking. This writer, a former 3-pack-a-day smoker, stopped 16 years ago and has not smoked since.

However, nicotine is a highly-addictive substance that is difficult to "kick." The most effective method seems to be nicotine replacement therapy (patch or gum) and support from a smoking cessation group or therapy. The writer believes that patches do a better job of replacement because of a much lower potential for addiction, as opposed to gum.
