Hello @boga815, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.
Have you had a chance to read any of the numerous posts in the "Smoking Section" here on Connect?
Here's a link to one:

I quit cold turkey after over 42 years of dedicated smoking.
Is it hard?
Oh heck yeah!
Can you do it?
You sure can, but you have to really, really, really want to, and the hardest part for me were the cravings after I quit.
Eight years later, and they still pop up every once in awhile, but I know they will go away.

I posted that what really helped me get through the worst part was bags of red hot cinnamon candies from the Dollar Store, and the beneficial information given by the biggest smoker on the Planet Earth, Allen Carr.

He wrote a book about quitting that touched on the psychological aspects of addiction that really got through to me. It was so helpful having this book...Allen Carr's Easy Way to Quit Smoking.
I bought a used copy on eBay (why spend more money than I needed, because it's probably not gonna work...that was my mentality BEFORE I read it)
This man smoked an amazing four (4), yes, four packs a day! And he quit.
And you can too. But you will need your head to be in this process.
Your brain is the best weapon you can have in the battle against this stupid, tiny, lying, little stick of paper and tobacco.
To think we let that little creepy thing control us! And does it ever control us.
But getting control over it is your super power.
Nicotine lies.
Nicotine says you need it for some many reasons.
To be happy, when you're sad, when you're lonely, mad, at a party, at a funeral, wedding, dinner.
After dinner, before dinner, with alcohol, with coffee.
Wearing pajamas, wearing fancy clothes.

I remember standing in a dark alley behind a restaurant, smoking in the rain, while my three friends were inside, because I needed a cigarette. Really? Needed? That's the power of nicotine addiction.

I also remember driving to a scary AM/PM convenience store at 11:45 at night because I ran out of smokes. I risked my life, so I could poison my body...totally logical. Not!
There is absolutely NOTHING you have to lose by quitting. Nothing. You will only gain.

You will smell better, have more money and be shocked at how much time you now have.
Ask yourself what do you have to lose? The answer is so obvious.
Ask yourself what will you gain by quitting?
