You've got to just not want to do it anymore
This seems to be the problem we all face ...previous attempts under our belts so we assume we can't stop, but do keep trying. The Alan Carr book is just about how great Alan Carr is as far as I can tell and did nothing to help me. I started in the 80s and it's bugger all to do with advertising it was already well known it was dangerous, we are all responsible for our own actions so there is no one else is to blame.
I was rolling myself a ciggie one day and the thought "why?" popped into my head and I couldn't answer it. I stopped rolling that cigarette and I've only had two cigarettes since (beer aided decisions) and only finished one of them. That was 5 years ago and I can't even imagine being a smoker now.
You won't stop until you just don't want to do it anymore. Every time you light up ask yourself why you are doing it. When you can't answer it don't have one.
