The most important part of the preparation for you quit your cigarettes is to be mentally ready. It is pointless to think that you should stop smoking if you're not ready for it. You might also have to handle the physical nicotine withdrawal symptoms. If you take care of this part, the mental part might be easier. If you are like most people, willpower alone will not do it. You will probably need a little help. Today there is a lot of products, there will remove the worst withdrawal symptoms (e.g. Nicotinell and Nicorette). Nicotine plaster and nicotine chewing gum are the two most popular nicotine products. Other options are nicotine inhaler, nicotine nasal spray and nicotine tablets. Many of the cigarettes you smoke is probably more a matter of habit than a desire. The cigarette after lunch or at the bus stops; is it because you want a cigarette? Or has it just become a (bad) habit that you do not think about? Look critically at your smoking situations. Then you will be able to reduce your cigarette consumption significantly. This way you can take deliberated choice, when you decide to light a cigarette. Do you have any dreams that you cannot afford today? If it is within reasonable limits, you will probably be able to afford it if you quit smoking. Give yourself (or maybe your family) a reward, when haven't smoked for a week, a month, a year etc. Thereby you have a great motivation to continue to fight, when everything seems a little hopeless. A smoking cessation piggy bank can be a great way to make the reward present. Every evening you put the money, which you normally would have spent on cigarettes, in the piggy bank. Then you can see the result; and soon you will be able to break it and go on a nice vacation. It might also be a good idea to write down your thoughts down, before you quit smoking. Write about why you have decided to stop, what you think might be the hardest part etc. Then you can find encouragement and new motivation in the writings, when the crisis hits you; and sooner or later it will. A quit smoking diary might also be a good idea. Here you can confess all your ups and downs in complete confidence.
