Brief Answer:

Willpower and motivation

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

It requires planning and commitment. Usually going to a de-addiction center/ quit-smoking class and using NRT chewing gum will help you. A combination of these will help you to be smoke-free.

When everyone around you smokes and you want to quit, you can only do it through your strong willpower. I would suggest you start and motivate others to quit. That is the best way.

Hope I have answered your query.

Take care
