I quit smoking after trying and failing several times over a two year period by following a simple rule: if the urge to smoke even flickered into my mind for a split second, I had to smoke a cigarette. Initially I went from smoking 1/2 pack up to 3-4 packs/day. Within a short period of time (2-3 weeks or so), the smell of cigarette smoke made me want to puke. I got very good at controlling my thoughts regarding smoking and controlling my impulses. I was totally off smoking within a month and never went back. I'm not sure that is a good technique but it did work for me. edit: inspired by this episode of he-man, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnmMyqffSQU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnmMyqffSQU
