I am having trouble quitting smoking cigarettes. I have been smoking for 50 years, and I have tried to quit this bad habit at least 8 times. I am so frustrated, do you have any suggestions?
One of the reasons it is so difficult to quit smoking is that it is not just a bad habit, it is an addiction. Your body becomes physically addicted to nicotine. Because of that, some people will need to slowly decrease their nicotine intake, and to use one of the nicotine patches. There are also medicines which can decrease the physical craving. See your doctor to make a plan to quit smoking.
