How do you resist smoking two cigarettes in a row?

Eh, you already know what's bad about them and I won't go there. So ya, I really don't smoke anymore, (maybe one or 2 a week) but I used to pretty heavily. There is no easy way to not chain smoke, especially when out of stress. It's all about self control, simply do not smoke the second or third cigarette. If there is a situation you smoke especially heavily in, stop smoking in that situation completely. For me, I always used to chain smoke when I was driving. I never chain smoked otherwise, but as soon as I hopped in the car, I was puffing on a cigarette from the time I turned over the engine until I got where I was going. Sometimes, I would smoke 4 or 5 in a row. When I stopped smoking in the car, it was unimaginably tough, so I just started putting my pack in the glove box so I couldn't get to it while I was driving to stop the temptation. After I stopped smoking in the car, I pretty much stopped smoking. By resisting the urge to smoke in the situation where I would just chain smoke, I cut back to pretty much nothing. Identify what situation your smoking heavily in, and stop smoking in that situation. If happens to be at home, then it may just be better to quit all together. Life will go on if you don't smoke.
