My values began to change before becoming smoke free. I started to take note of the negative things about my smoking........for example experiencing heart burn when I smoked, being embarrased and wanting to hide the fact that I smoked, struggling to find a place to smoke, mood changes and spaced out feeling when not able to smoke. All those and more reactions I used to build up to my quit. I didn't tell myself that I enjoyed smoking etc I instead started to reinforce the negatives of smoking to myself, how bad it tasted, how sick it made me, how I smelled of cigarettes, how I was stuck outside in wind and rain and burning sun just to have a cigarette hardly worth it!!!! So this quit is easier for me because I have changed my attitude and thinking about cigarettes and I love seeing those grosse commercials on TV about lungs and smoking related disease because I'm not doing it anymore. I like that I am saving money and will be able to pamper myself, look better, be more healthy and free.
