How can I stop smoking when everyone around me smokes?

If you are currently smoking and are dedicating to quitting your habit, I think the first step is to ween yourself off a little bit at a time. Going cold turkey can have a negative effect on the body and mind. Make it a habit to smoke one less cigarette a day, decreasing a little bit at a time. It can be difficult to quit habits that you struggle with when they are always around, there must be a little bit of self control. Realize your goal of quitting first, and find something positive in rewarding yourself after, say, every 2-3 cigarettes less smoked. You can also find an alternative to your smoking to help ease the process and distract yourself from potential need to smoke, chewing gum could be helpful , for example. If you are struggling a lot, tell your friends and fellow smokers what your goal is and they should do their best to help you achieve your goal. If that doesn't work, you may need to try and stay away from them until you are no longer tempted. You can also find somebody who doesn't smoke to motivate you to quit. Hope this answer helps!
