How can we get over smoking??

Tell him its a decision he has to make himself. Its hard but when he does he will quit. It will help if all of you stops smoking too.

First of all I am very glad that your friend wishes to stop. He realized that smoking is really bad for our health. Will power and perseverance will help a lot. Only himself can help. You may suggest that he reduced the number of sticks he smokes. Discipline himself. After that, he needs to make himself busy so that there will be no time for him to light even a stick. Whenever he feels the need to do so divert the attention or eat candies. Yes, there are chain smokers who successfully quitted. Support your friend, he will need you. Take care =)

I agree. I experienced my myself. It is really hard to quit especially with the intake of nicotine of 2 packs a day. Yes, professional help will be a key to finally stop smoking. Sometimes, truth hurts and you may tell him that if he/she doesn't stop, it might be too late.... no offense.

seek help from a doctor.. he will have options like nicotine patches, change in lifestyle and diet and many more..or surf the web. there are plenty of sites which deals with this kind of addiction..
