There are many Simple but not Easy Tips for Quitting Smoking around for men and women puffers! I say simple, because on the face of it they really are very simple, but quite often in theory only.  Like, just don’t light up another cigarette, or make a date to stop, then stop!, or try cutting down gradually until you quit completely, add infinitum.  But the bottom line is that something as addictive and as habitual as smoking usually needs a little more help than helpful suggestions, and more often than not that comes in the form of stop smoking aids such as nicotine patches and gum etc But smoking cessation is less of an ordeal when a few useful tips are used in conjunction with these aids.
