If i had a dollar for every time Ive heard my friends say the are "quitting" the stuff its a garuntee that they are going to be smoking a ton by next week.
When you tell yourself "Im done smoking, never again" then you create a zero sum all or nothing decision.
As soon as you have a bad day (and eventually you will, every single human on earth does) and slip up and smoke once, you will realize as you are coming down that well "Im a failure, i started smoking again, may as well get higher again to numb the pain and forget".
And thus you have renewed the cycle.
The only friends I know who actually quit where the ones who cut back slowly, until they forget about smoking at all one day.
They cant tell you the day they stopped smoking, they just know that by such and such date they looked back and realized it had been a few weeks since they got high.
Focusing all of your concentration on not smoking is still wasting all of your time thinking about getting high.
You dont stop doing something addicting, you replace it with better shit to do, until one day you dont even think about it at all.
Instead of getting high after work, telll yourself you can get high after you get home from work AND finish your laundry.
Then once thats second nature, start only getting high after you are done with work, finished doing the laundry, AND cleaned your room.
Then one day youll wake up and think woopse i forgot to get high last night, o well, maybe when im done doing all of this today I will.
