Every time you have an urge to do the old one, replace it with a new one. The new one should be positive, constructive and mainly bring you enjoyment. Otherwise, your motivation won't last long. For example, if you want to stop smoking, don't do 10 push-ups instead if you hate physical exercise. Do something you enjoy. Maybe smoking is not a good example because there's a difference between a habit and an addiction, but you get my point. And, of course, it takes time and effort
but it is possible. Check the book Tiny Habits by BJ Fogg.
