Today almost everyone in the world knows about the dangers that smoking poses so nobody starts smoking just because they think it is good for them.
The decision to start smoking is not something that is made rationally but rather this decision is more of an emotional one made at the emotional level.
Maintaining the habit to smoke is a subconscious process and later it also becomes a physical process as well.
People think that replacing cigarette smoking with chewing gum or a nicotine patch is a good idea.
  The truth is that plain chewing gum is really of  no use.
Nicotine patches do deal with bodily need for nicotine and might deal with some of the withdrawal symptoms faced by most smokers trying to quit smoking but it is not a technique that can benefit you long term.
  The best way to quite smoking cigarettes is to deal with the addiction head on.
You also need to make sure that when you quit smoking it is both at a physical and emotional level.
You will have to go on a high protein diet and start having a full breakfast as well as start exercising regularly.
This should help you deal with smoking at a physical level.
However in order to start dealing with smoking at an emotional or mental level you need use hypnotherapy as a way to reduce mental stress and emotional strain.
Hypnosis will also help you remain motivated as you approach the end of your smoking addiction as well are remove the original triggers that resulted in you taking up the habit in the first place.
This is the key to stop smoking forever.
if you deal with smoking at a mental level you will remain smoke free for the rest of your life.
