Smoking

So i need to stop smoking for a month before my sleeve surgery and i use to smoke like 12 cigs a day! Today was my first day trying to quit and i failed and smoked 2 cigs......i feel so disappointed in myself my follow up appointment is on the 16th of febuary and was hoping to be able to tell doctor that i quit 30 days ago but guess not now! I really want this surgery for my health problems! Any tips on quitting this bad habit of mine.
