I promise a few friends that after high school i would stop smoking and it really hasn't been doing that great. I have gone from smoking a pack a day to mabye like 5 but i just can't stop. Anyone have any advice.

stop hanging out with ur frnds who smoke... make a headstrong determination tht ull stop smoking... try and chew the gum whole day, i hv heard it helps, no personal experience so not sure how much... it will take time for deaddiction... ull find constant urges to go and hv one puff but restrain frm it... once quitted never evn think of touching it... if nothing helps u thn thr are nicotine patches available which can help u in cutting down slowly... also medication named buspirone is available for smoking cessation...

You are definitely a chain smoker and to really get rid of your problem..I'd advice you to join a rehab camp or something..or get really determinent and do something about it yourself..

Most people got into smoking through 'peer pressure' I think joining a group of non-smokers, or associating with non-smokers to induce that 'peer pressure' again in a good sense is a novel idea.
