I smoked for forty+ years.
My advice:
1) Quit now. It will not get easier.
2) Every day you do not buy cigarettes, put the money you WOULD have spent in a jar and at the end of a month, buy yourself a treat with it.
3) Consider peripheral expenses with cigarettes - clothes with burn holes, lighters, ash trays.
4) Think about what smoking causes you to miss (going outside during a concert or a dinner).
5) Know that you smell better without changing your hygiene habits.
6) Look at your curtains and walls - there's more of that crap in your lungs!
7) Enlist your doctor's help, tell everybody you're quitting (the embarrassment factor), go to quitters' seminars (free most places - check with health and medical centers)
