When I gave up smoking in 2004 I had tried several times before, but did not have much success.  I then embarked on a 5 step preparation and planning approach and it worked.  If you follow my 5 steps to quitting smoking, you could have a healthier New Year.

Step One. Why Do You Want To Quit?
Being able to quit smoking is something that many smokers wish for and deciding to quit smoking is the one decision that only you can make.
The key to quitting smoking is understanding the process:-
Write down all of the reasons why you smoke, how you got into it, your understanding of what smoking does to your body and what happens when you stop.

Step Two. Prepare Yourself
Believe that you can quit.
Write down when you smoke and why?  What triggers your need to smoke?
How are you going to break the habit?  Make a plan to avoid the habitual routines of when and where you smoke, particularly in the first couple of weeks.
Find all of your smoking accessories and throw them away so as to avoid temptation, believe me the first few weeks are very hard and you want to avoid the temptation of just having the one.
