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.

It is so hard to stop using tobacco products because of all the addictive micotine that people thinks seems to calm them down or make them feel good, and from there, not everybody will do it again but most people will continue to use it
