After I decided that I really needed to stop smoking I realized that there were many many other people who were also desperately trying to quit. If you read my last article, "How can I stop smoking cigarettes?" you know that this is the question that I finally decided to research. In doing so, I found that there are a multitude of systems and methods and programs and products available to help get the job done.

However, as with all things, I realized that it's not all about me. A lot of my friends and relatives also knew that they had to stop the habit but sheer willpower, for most of them, was not the answer. Many had tried and failed on a number of occasions.

So, I researched a new question. "How can people stop smoking?" Now, I know that on the surface this seems like the same question, but the internet is a diverse place and you will be surprised at what you will find when you just rephrase a question like this. You will come up with a whole different set of results.

Sure, there was a lot of duplication. But there were also a multitude of new products and methods that had not turned up on my first search. So searching for "how can people stop smoking?" yielded even more results than my first question.

What's the point of all this searching? Simply this. There are many many different personality types on the planet. And what works for one will not necessarily work for another. The whole point of this exercise is to find that one product, that one method, that one program, that one motivational system that will work for you.

I know many of you have tried to stop smoking before... and failed. And I also know that every failure chips away at your resolve to stop smoking for good. It happened to me. Fortunately, I have people around me who support me and want me to stop smoking. Every time I lit a cigarette someone would call me on it. When your nine year old granddaughter says, "Grandpa, you're making me sad," it strengthens your resolve to keep up the search to find that one way that will work for you.

Ask the question, "How can i stop smoking cigarettes?" or even better, "How can people stop smoking?" and then begin your research. I guarantee that if you will just hang in there and keep at it you will find that golden egg that enables you to stop for good.
