You need to find another hobby or someone near you that will keep an eye on you. If you cannot find someone who can keep an eye on you , I really recommend you go see a doctor or parents or someone who can help you out. You can use those pads that you can buy that will restrain you from smoking , but they are dangerous , so I do not know if you up for it , it is something if you go near smoke then it will give you a heart attack. I am sure you can stop , your at an early age and I can see you want to stop before it is too late and that is a good sign , if you push yourself to it I am sure / positive you will be able to stop. My advice to you is you need to talk to someone either a doctor or parents or friends or someone. You need to surround yourself with things you like more like what makes you want to live other then smoking. I am sure if you have faith in yourself and ask for God's help you can make it happen and become more healthier and stronger. This might help you [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) or [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
I am sure you can do it , please help yourself , you do not want to ruin your body.
