funny you should ask, I quit 10 years ago this month. I got a really bad case of bronchitis that came on suddenly (I think it was really pneumonia), and couldn't even light up. I decided to try what people who work 12-step programs do, and I just kept postponing the cigarette on hour at a time. After a day, I was surprised that I was not "Jonesing" for a smoke, but I still wanted one. I just keep postponing it, and before long, I had gone several days without smoking. I had previously smoke more than a pack a day.
The most important thing I learned is that it was not nearly as hard as I thought it was going to be, and no matter how strong the urge for a puff is, do not give in, it will pass, a lot sooner than you think, too. And stay away from smokey places for a while. Except for your stove, that is. You will never regret it.
Good luck, I'm pulling for ya!

The cravings will likely be with you for a long time, but it gets easier to ignore them every day. That nicotine is powerful stuff!

I used to say to someone, when they tried to quit, was that quitting was easy, I quit several times a year. Then one day, I made up my mind to really quit. That was Feb 1992 and never had another smoke since.
I think it really is a mindset. I found that quitting for "financial" reasons, health reasons, or something similar, wasn't reason enough, I had to want to quit, really want to. I made up my mind to, and that was it.
Now, however, it seems to be a bit easier as you really can't smoke anywhere, other than in your basement, with the lights off, crouching behind your furnace.
