It is great to quit smoking which is a harmful to body. If you cannot suddenly stop, then gradually reduce smoking but make it a point to quit fully in a specified time duration. Engaging mind in higher activities like meditation, yoga and services help a lot to quit smoking. Also drink cow's milk in night before sleep.
