Can a chained smoker really stop smoking? is there any way to prevent them from smoking?

Yeah of course. That was me, it is all about method and what you know of your addiction.
The breakthrough for me is that I have learned that even if I lose a battle it doesn't mean that I am a no good, will lacking individual.
I got to the point that I toyed with the habit by starting again so I give it up another time, confront the monster and beat it again. And every time I stayed off it for longer, this year I am NOT going back to it but even if I do stay off 8 months every year it is still better than one cig after the other.
It is a NASTY habit but it can be beaten. I have been off it since february this time but am still hooked on Nicotine and chew gums. In a month I'll give up on the gums and suffer another month (while swimming! it helps!) then I'll be free for the summer, same as the last 4 summers, then hopefully this winter I won't be an idiot again. Last winter was shorter though, I started chewing in february.
here is one excellent and free resource for giving up http://whyquit.com/ pass this link along if you can, these people won't even take donation so that's the least we can do.
Read it all and chew. Then give up the chewing, DO NOT think you can ever smoke just one. Be aware you will be addicted FOR LIFE, it just becomes dorment but one puff and you are back to square one. If that happens, next time you'll be BETTER equipped mentally to give it up, never think you are an idiot and no good at giving it up just because you start smoking again, just do not stop giving up and it gets easier to do. It's all in the mind and it is 100% possible to do.
