Ex-smokers share what made them successfully quit cigarettes.

Beating a nicotine addiction and smoking habit is notoriously difficult, but millions of people have proven that it's possible.

You never know what trigger is going to be that will change everything.

Just because one thing doesn't work for you, it doesn't mean something else won't.

"You don't have to think about an eternity smoke free, you just need to make it one minute at a time" "I chose the 10 cigarettes that I craved the most + stuck with that" "Once a smoker always a smoker, I could relapse if I start smoking again".

Comedian Paul F Tompkins quit smoking after reading Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking.

Comedian says he quit after reading the book and hasn't had so much as a craving since.

"My girlfriend at the time would not marry or live with a smoker. So I guess I did it for love. No regrets.".
