smoking

Back when I smoked cigarettes, I noticed that I always went through more of them if I was having a few drinks. I had to consciously avoid smoking constantly while enjoying a cocktail or a cold beer. I vape now, and it doesn't seem to be as much of an issue. What about you? Cigars, cigarettes...

What is the best way to quit smoking. I know it is really hard and requires a lot of strong will power but I have seen people who have successfully quit smoking. What are the most effective means that can help to reduce this addiction?
