Stopping smoking takes some time. There are some stages. If you get to the final stage and fail, just start from the beginning. If you have tried before and failed, still have another go. If you are not sure that you can make it, think of this: there are millions of people who have stopped smoking. So you can do it too. Make up your mind you are going to stop, and you will. Lots of people have been surprised how easy it was to stop once they had really made up their minds. Think about what you gain by stopping.
