You can stop - you know you can stop - it's just getting the mind around it that you are finding difficult. But the karma spinning mind can be brought under control - in an instant - it just depends on your motivation.

You can say to yourself that you refuse to be ruled by smoking any longer or you could contemplare the actual harm your smoking is doing to yourself and others. Get yourself the motivation to quit smoking now you have realised it is wrong.

When I gave up smoking almost exactly one year ago my wife was at first worried that I would be more ill tempered without my smoking but her fears were proven groundless - my giving up smoking has improved my practice and given me a huge boost in confidence - from sixty cigarettes a day to zero in an instant means I know now what it is possible to accomplish.
