From the smokers in my life, it's apparent to me people generally need a fairly concrete reason or goal to successfully quit.

Otherwise it's always Sure, I'll quit - tomorrow

Willpower is a muscle. It fatigues. So simply willing your way out of an addiction is not effective for many people.

My mom smoked for about 45 years and stopped the day she found out she was having a grand daughter. She didn't want to smell like smoke around her. Hasn't touched a cig in years. The whole family is better for it.
