I've been an on-off smoker for years, quite habitual in my youth, but more recently occaisional and based on stress.
Post diagnosis and with other stuff going on it was starting to creep back in, to the extent that I was buying duty free cigars on my trips abroad and it was becoming a habit again. The only thing I can say that stopped me was throwing a mental switch. I still want to smoke, and the thought of a nice cigar is pretty attractive, but as with all these things, its a choice.
Today my choice is not to smoke.
That's all it needs to be - a choice you make today, no different from a choice to eat well or do some exercise.
I hope you cna kick the habit
