Stop *****footing around and just quit. The main reason people go back to smoking is because they give themselves a psychological get-out clause from the start; instead of saying that they're trying to stop smoking, they should say that they don't smoke.

I started smoking when I was 11 and was on 20-30 a day by the time I reached 17, and I gave up at the first time of asking at the age of 25. And yes, I realise I'm being very smug about this.
