I know you have been thinking of quit smoking. The reason you still smoke now is because you can not distinguish between, what is the truth and your real thought, and what is that the nicotine in your body tells you. Read Smoker's psychology as your first step.

Quit smoking injection, sounds crazy to me

An innovation in quit smoking research is what called quit smoking injection. What is it? Basically, your body is injected with some chemicals, which can remove your response to the nicotine. My understanding is that you need to give up some of the functions of your neurons to kick off your smoking habit.

"It is a shot of scopolamine that is given to the individual who wishes to quit. It is generally used as an anesthetic as well as to make motion sickness better. It is also used as a temporarily treat Parkinson’s disease. It is basically a chemical that affects the brain.
This chemical that in injected helps in blocking the neuro-receptors that respond to nicotine in the brain. Due to this, when an individual smokes after being given this shot, the pleasure areas in the brain are not activated. This is because the chemical blocks receptors and so the brain is unaware that nicotine is in the body. This makes the act of smoking less and less enjoyable every time the individual smokes. Eventually, the individual can quit as there is no motivation to continue."

Side effects are as follows:
  • Dizziness
  • Blurry vision
  • Difficulty in urination
  • Dry mouth
  • Fever
  • Delirium and hallucinations
  • Sensitivity to light

Jesus! Why not just cut off my fingers, then I have to quit smoking because I can not hold the cigarette between my fingers any more? Are we really so helpless that we need to sacrifice so much to quit smoking? No! Of course not. If you understand why you smoke and master the real technique, quit smoking is the easiest thing, just like how I quit. On the other hand, if you have not fully understood, even if you quit temporarily, later sometime, if the reason upon which you quit disappears, you will light up a cigarette again. In this injection case, what if later someday, the respond to nicotine comes back, and you by chance decide to take some smoke? That chance exists if you don't get rid off smoking habit from your subconsciousness.

So, be rational and find the right way to quit smoking happily.
