Openness To Experience
If you are the type of person whose personality is high in getting open to experiences, so it means you are adventurous. You are happy in taking new challenges in life and are change-friendly.
So instead of just quitting on smoking , you can replace it with a super new habit like swimming , jet skiing , painting or even a trip to the amazon.
If you are low in being open to experiences, taking a very new route home or even breaking a long habit can be very disturbing to you.
So instead of just quitting on cigarettes, who is your ‘buddy’ on every time-interval or moment, you can replace the smoking habit with some healthier routine.
For example, if you used to smoke every time with coffee , you can replace cigarettes with small dark chocolate morsels which is increase your blood circulation and testosterones.
Conscientiousness
You are very lucky if you’re high on conscientiousness, as people with such personality are very good planners and are strictly goal oriented. So if you are smoking 10–20 cigarettes a day , you can make a plan of eventually reducing the number of smokes per day or per week and aim it to quitting on a specific date and time.
That day will come. and you will quit with no regrets.
With lower in conscientious, you are unable to resist the quick and strong urges and you want to find immediate gratification by submitting yourself to your ‘impulse control’.
The best strategy to quit smoking in such personality is to keep yourself away from the environment where you feel the urge and can is easily accessible to you.
Extroversion
You seem to be very friendly with random people and easy going with everyone that means you are highly extroverted person. Such people have a large network of friends and they usually spend time with their groups and are highly influenced by others.
Get support from your peer groups when quitting the smoking habit as it will encourage you to stick with the plan and avoid spending time with friends who are smokers.
If you are low in extroversion and seem like an introvert, then you need your personal reasons when deciding to quit smoking as the influences from your friends or family won’t do any help.
This path could be little harder for them as they are alone in the journey and their master is their ‘innerself’.
Agreeableness
The people at the peak of agreeableness are those who pay attention to others with a considerate attitude and nourish a mutual understanding relationship.
They would respond to the warnings linked with smoking and its cancerous effects and also the dangerous outcome from second-hand smoking. They are most likely to quit smoking if they have a newborn or some elder at home who suffers from asthmatic problems.
Person with low in agreeableness finds it difficult to socialize with people, have trust issues and the behavior is motivated in terms of competition instead of cooperation.
So this trait personality before considering to quit smoking , he would look for information like, what percentage of people fail in quitting to smoke ?
If the task look impossible, he gets intrinsically motivated and starts the journey with competitive mindset to prove to succeed where many have failed. He can also be intensely motivated if some challenges him that he cannot achieve the ‘smoke-free’ status.

People with low neuroticism have emotional stability and are less responsive to stress and feel easy to quit.
