1.Try Acupuncture or Hypnosis
Acupuncture and hypnosis are two great ways to overcome the habit of smoking. Consult with an expert in these areas and give it a shot. Acupuncture doesn't hurt as much as it looks like it would, and hypnosis doesn't hurt at all. Do your research and find someone with great credentials in your area.
2.If Smoke A Cigarette, Don't Give Up
If you falter and smoke a cigarette, especially during a stressful situation, don't beat yourself up for it. This is just a temporary set back and you can get right back on track. Don't let it be the reason for giving up all together and for starting to smoke again.
3.Post A Picture of Smoke Damaged Lungs On Your Home Screen
A picture like the one above should be enough of a deterrent for any smoker. It is a picture of a healthy lung and a lung damaged by smoke inhalation. Post a picture like this anywhere and everywhere to remind yourself just what you are doing to your lungs when you smoke.
4.Place Money You're Saving In Jar
Place the amount of money you would spend on a pack of cigarettes, or a carton, each day, into a jar. If you smoke two packs per day, put that amount in the jar. After a week you will see how much money you were spending on cigarettes and that you can use that money on something much more beneficial.
5.Take 1 Milliliter Oat Extract Per Day
Avena Sativa, commonly known as oat extract, has been proven to decrease the number of cigarettes a smoker smokes. One milliliters four times per day, should do the trick. You can find oat extract at your local health food store. Keep it on hand to use throughout your entire day.
6.Suck On Cinnamon Flavored Toothpick
Part of the habit of smoking is the oral fixation. Try a cinnamon toothpick. Stick it in your mouth when a cigarette craving hits. The cinnamon will curb the craving, and the act of sucking on the toothpick or letting it hang out of your mouth will satisfy your oral need.
7.Switch To Herbal Tea At Times You Would Smoke
Herbal tea is a great deterrent to smoking. Drinking herbal tea when you would normally have a cigarette, like after you eat, is a great way to help curb the habit. The herbal tea will soothe and calm you, similar to the effect you get from a cigarette, but in a much more healthy way.

8.Find Things To Do When Cravings Hit
When cravings hit and you would normally reach for a cigarette, do something else instead. Run, walk, hike, hit some golf balls, knit, sew, write. Do anything that you like and do that or something else every time you have the urge to smoke, until you replace that habit with something more healthy.
9.Stop Buying Cartons
One of the first things you should do is to stop buying cartons of cigarettes. If you are trying to quit smoking, make it harder for yourself to have access to cigarettes. Your mind will force you to smoke less to conserve the cigarettes you have in your pack, slowing down how many you smoke per day.

Prohibit smoking in your home, car, and even your office is you can prevent it, Having someone enter and smoke will be too tempting for you and will make it that much harder for you to quit. Ask people to have respect for your decision and to be courteous, smoking only outdoors and away from you.
