I am a chain smoker since 1999, my cigarrete consumption for first 5 years was 8 per day as a student, next 2 years 12 per day as normal engineer and now 20 per day as an engineer in highly tensioned working atmosphere.
My family now insisting to stop smoking for the welfare of kids, offcourse i am trying, but all my personal attempts goes failed due to work + atmosphere. Even I am not sure if i get resigned from this job.
Could anyone provide me suitable advise to stop smoking?
I would thank a lot if i get succeeded from your path.

I have just stopped a month ago, after smoking more than 20 cigarettes a day for 15 years. The main thing is that YOU wish to stop. If you are only trying to stop due to pressure from your family, I am sorry but, it is unlikely that you will succeed.

agree with nachu. one of my friend was also a chain smoker. he used to smoke a lot more than u infact.

one day he just decided to quit. he felt uneasy for the first week. next week he had very strong urges to smoke. he wasnt even able to go for his bowles (s**t), but he didnt budge.

week 3 onwards everything normal. no problem at all. even if you offer him a smoke today, he wouldnt smoke

I was a smoker too.. but just stopped one day and didnt smoke after that. it would take around 2 to 3 weeks to get rid of urge to smoke but after that its just normal. Medicines dont work much. its the will power. just decide and stop. thats the only one remedy.

Its been a year now without smoking ..and i am soooooo happy about it

Try nicotine patch or chewing gums. They may help to cut the smoking urges. But it seems your number of cigarette is directly related to stress, try relaxation methods like meditation. But what you need most is determination to Quit smoking.

Check REHAB if you are unable to control on your SMOKING URGE..

Make your will power strong first...Try to reduce your daily packs to 15 from 20 and then so on..See that if it works..Try to chew GUMS or any mouth freshners whenever you feel like to smoke..

I've got few interesting search on GOOGLE which would help you to reduce your SMOKING..take a look..thanks.
