Any tips to stop smoking for someone who recently started?

I picked it up about 3 months ago and I really don't want this to turn into a life thing. I just really like it especially when I'm driving.

I was a chain smoker...3 packs a day. I felt like I was chained to an ashtray. I finally HAD to quit because the ex quit, and then he refused to kiss me. Said he would not kiss me at all anymore as long as I was smoking because I stank and my breath stank. I went cold turkey. The one thing that REALLY helped me was understanding myself. I KNEW that if I picked up even ONE cigarette, even one....that all my hard work would be wasted and I would go right back to it. I used breathsavers breath mints to help me. Every time I wanted a cigarette I popped one in my mouth.

If you want to have a S.O. eventually, you should think about the smell, which does not come off of your clothes, or your hair. You can try to mask it on your breath, but not if you are living with someone.
