    Will power is absolutely vital. However, different methods work better/worse depending on the individual. Some people can "taper" their use, smoking less and less until they finally quit. Some use a patch or gum. Of course, I've known people who got addicted to them (and they cost more than cigarettes!) Many, many, many people have to try more than once to fully quit, and along the way figure out what method is best for them. If you're wondering this for yourself, try going over to www.quitnet.com they're very nice and have tests to see HOW a person is addicted. For example: I was more mentally addicted (vs. habit or physical) so they suggested things to help me based on that. Also, they have forums there and chat rooms. Sometimes talking to someone who'll support you is the best way to quit (stay quit.) If you're wondering for someone else, try to get them over to the site. Also, (this may sound dumb) drink lots of orange juice. If you don't like oj, or can't drink it, try lots of water. It helps flush systems and reduces cravings. Remember however, that if someone doesn't really want to quit, they won't. No matter what anyone else tells them. I hope this helps some and good luck. :D
