Dear lybrateuser, - It is always better to stop smoking as early as possible as it causes great damage to the body because of its harmful chemicals - decide a date & stop it as gradual tapering may not be affective, keep away or dispose of the cigarettes, lighter & also be away from friends who encourage you to carry on - keep yourself busy with different activities so that when urge is there drink water, go out for a walk, do exercise, have a nicotine gum to reduce the urge - your willpower & determination can only help you in stopping smoking .

Dear Govind, Congratulations for planning to clear your lungs. The only way is quitting smoking. Since you are smoking only 1 year, comparatively it is easier to quit now than later. Nicotine stays in your lungs only for few hours. That is why you feel the need to smoke again. You also get withdrawal symptoms if you quit. But the tar which is deposited in the lungs can not be removed at all. Plan not to add more of tar by quitting smoking. If withdrawal is a problem, please take the help of nicotine replacement gum or lozenges or Bupropion tablets for 12 weeks or so.
