How will you stop smoking, while people around you doing?

There are many things that stop you from giving up smoking. What the people close to us do is one of them. Many people ask such a question – how can they stop smoking while others around them are refusing to quit? This is a common question among smokers that are planning, but not strong enough, to quit. I understand it because I lighted my first electronic cigarette starter kit because of the influence of the people that are working and living around me.
Is there a solution to this? The solution may vary from person to person as far as the effectiveness is concerned. I am going to share the one solution that helped me to quit smoking.
I call it Anti-smoking Partnership.
Nobody want to break up with his or her smoking friends because of his or her resolution to give smoking up. I did not want to do that, either. However, you can find one person that might be willing to quit with you. If there is someone like that, you are lucky. If there is no one among your friends, then you can persuade one or associate with one nonsmoking friend.
After you find the partner, make a deal with him or her. It should be agreed upon that you will monitor each other and cooperate with each other in stopping others who are smoking around you. Anti-smoking partnership is effective because two protesters will make a difference among people that will probably not listen to one single protester.
Warning: Do this gradually. Otherwise, you might lose your friendship.
