Hello,
Smoking is one of the most difficult addictions to get out of.
Sometimes, just motivation is not enough . You might need the help of medications to reduce the craving and handle withdrawal symptoms.
Nicotine replacement in the form of gums and patches and medicines to reduce craving are available. contact a psychiatrist for help.

I suggest you first identity the factors which prompt you into using cigarettes. Examine them & form alternative helpstrategies to deal with those factors before you
