Exercise is shown to help people quit smoking. I actually remember reading a study that stated that, of the four worst health habits for a person - smoking, poor diet, inactivity, and binge drinking - the one factor to change which results in a higher likelihood of the other habits being resolved is your physical activity level.
Find an activity you like. A sport, maybe cycling, join a gym. Really, it doesn't matter what the activity is. As long as you get a good workout out of it and enjoy it, you're likely to stick with it.

It IS hard! My husband quit for 2 years and one night out drinking with friends, He had one thinking one could not hurt, but, that ONE led him right back into it. He finally stopped about 5 years later, and its been several years, but, not a day goes by that He dont miss and crave them. he knows He is ONE cigarette away from going back, so dont even have ONE.
at the very least, a good intense workout can illustrate to you where "the bar" is, and that bar is likely a lot lower than it could be simply for sake of smoking. Know that as you have youth on your side, living "x" number more years seems like a very difficult concept to visualize as useful motivation, but hitting "the wall" a mile before your running goal is a lot easier to formulate as something to overcome. Best of luck to you in quitting smoking.
When you get physically active several things happen;
- You improve blood flow and circulation throughout the body
- You build confidence
- You look and feel better
- You sleep better
- It helps your body repair itself
- Manage stress better
- Manage weight gain
When you are exercising you won't want to have a cigarette, in fact, you will find that the smell is very un-pleasant. There are many benefits to getting physically active and giving one bad habit for a good habit can have a huge psychological impact and build confidence that helps to reinforce your decision to quit.
