either cold turkey or try patches

This is how I quit (this might take a few tries tho, don't feel discouraged):

1. No compromise - don't cut deals with yourself and rationalise even the smallest amount of use no matter the circumstance until at least 3 months of sobriety

2. Promise - firmly and confidently promise yourself and others that you "don't smoke anymore"(not "trying to quit"), literally tell a bunch of people, the shame you might incur from having lied to people/yourself sometimes keeps you from smoking

3. Realise - that during withdrawals your thoughts aren't rational and that there is a life after withdrawal which is 10x better than the constant ups & downs of drugs

4. Want - actually want to quit, don't just quit cuz somebody is telling you to, you have to fully despise the smoker life and not secretly enjoy parts of it as this will make all attempts of quitting futile 

5. Refrain - When you get the temptation to smoke again after a certain amount of sobriety and you feel cocky, it's useful to have your thoughts journaled during withdrawal as a reminder to what you will inevitably have to go through if you smoke again. Having other hobbies like lifting/sports/reading will ease temptations

Hope this helps

I agree with this, I am same opinion and experience for me and many more.

It's quite simple... you go out and buy a ball the first day, you buy another ball the second day, you buy another ball the next day and so on...
In conclusion, you need a lot of balls to quit smoking.

keep smoking until you bored to it .. you can't stop it honestly

i was trying so hard to stop smoking , but the result is nothing , being sick if i don't smoking

idk how true but someone told me its not nicotine thats addictive but the habit itself
if true you need to replace the habit of smoking with another activity eating chips

first thing , start hitting the gym
second check the triggers of why ui smoke and when and start killing them slowly
third if it helps , replace the dopamine rush coming from the cigarettes with something else
all the best of luck buddy
ive seen ppl with 20years plus of smoking drop out in few weeks , and it is amazing and gives clear results on how the appear , function and feel in general

That actually depends on why you have the habit. For me it was an obsessive compulsive habit that I kept going to when there was nothing to do. Replacing that with spinning pens actually helped me a lot more than anything else. Also nicotine withdrawals can be sent away with gums, but they are only a stopgap.
