    You have to want to stop smoking before you stop.

    If you quit Ramadan for 30 days, surely brother you can quit. Just don't think about it, think of the long run whenever you see a cigarette. Pray, think about something else, just do everything in your body to not smoke a cigarette. After the first day, you will be proud of yourself but don't try reward yourself with another cigarette. Just keep doing it one day at a time till you never want a cigarette again.

    Its hard to give you advice in this situation because I've never really went through it as I've never been addicted to a substance before.

    I know it probably won't be easy, but its really a good thing for you to stop smoking.

    Um..I guess you could just do something you REALLY enjoy when you have the urge to smoke.

    Like I don't know, working out or drawing or taking a walk or cooking, anything you enjoy doing.

    It will help you keep your mind off of smoking- hopefully.

    Salam and good luck!

    stopped for 14 days and went back.. but i noticed that keeping busy will help u stop smoking.. once there is nothing to do, the addiction will start playing its role.. if u stopped the whole month of ramadan, then u have a good chance to stop permanently.. just keep busy, and dont keep cigarettes at your house

    Don't hang around with your friends that are smoking or ask them not to smoke infront of you. If they are good friends they will respect you and support you in this. Also give everyone around you the permission to slap you everytime they see you smoking :D LOL
