Motivation and planning are extremely important to quitting smoking. First, think of the main reasons you want to stop. Take a piece of paper and on one half write down the reasons you smoke. On the other half, write down all the reasons why you should quit.
Now you have a better idea of what you will lose and what you will gain from stopping smoking. Circle the most important reason for you to quit. Write it down on a separate piece of paper and keep it somewhere you can easily look at it when you need to.
Doing this activity will make it clear that there are many great reasons to quit!
