First off all smoking is not a habit.......it's an addiction and, a cigarette is the delivery system for the drug, nicotine. Nicotine is one of the most addictive substances known to man. I've seen people sober up from drugs and alcohol over the last thirty years in addiction medicine and many never quit smoking.
The biggest key is the American Lung Associations adage of; "Don't quit quitting." One of these times you will be successful. Sometimes it takes a shotgun approach to quit which means utilizing many things in combination to quit. Medication, counseling, life-style changes, exercise, support groups, sponsor, meditation books, subliminal tapes, etc. It takes what it takes.
