The only remedy to a healthy and peaceful life that have been summed up in a few steps is as follows:
1. Positive Attitude
Change the way you look at things and the things you look at, change. Change the way you think about smoking. Instead of saying that how difficult stopping smoking is, even if it is, just say what is so difficult in quitting smoking, it is going to be really simple and easy. This will give you extra inner strength and determination.
2. Internet Research

This therapy includes wearing patches, chewing nicotine-containing gums and nicotine nasal spray or inhaler. This reduces withdrawal physical symptoms like irritability and tiredness.
5. Cold Turkey
This is the most popular method though again not enough effective to stop smoking. Only 5% cases have succeeded till date. Cold turkey means to stop smoking immediately and without preparation. Smokers try this repeatedly to succeed without any aid of patches or nicotine gums. Smokers using this method experience withdrawal symptoms and are recommended to drink lot of water, count 10-0 very slowly and breathe slowly when craving to smoke, take a quick walk, and talk to friend and other ways to divert their attention from smoking.
