Cold turkey about 5 years ago now. Was smoking 2 packs a day and had smoked for over 15 years. Like others have said you just really have to want to quit. And if you do slip then just start over and dont quit quiting.

Its true you have to work around all the mental habits but I can't downplay the physical side. It is a pretty mean monkey on both sides. While I was quiting and had not smoked for a few days my cravings would mellow some. But just taking a single drag off a cig would send my cravings right back to ground zero. You can easily fall right back into old habits. I had once quit for around a year and a half and was back to 2 packs/day within days of bumming a smoke.

Now I do not smoke or have any desire to do such. People can smoke around me and it does not bother me. When I see people smoking now I kind of feel for them and I realize that I am just one drag away from being in the same boat again.

Aw, Dad, you've done a lot of great things, but you're a very old man, and old people are useless

when you feel that you want to smoke try to swallow a candy and bite your pen and just think that it is a cigar... play your pen with your lips... this works on me.. ive been smoking 1 packs per day before and now i only smoke occasionally...

You are so right... most people start snacking when stop smoking and "meals feel extremely good" because your body or metabolism is changing fast and without the effect of nicotine it is using and storing much more of what you are eating, that's a proven fact, most dr.s know that.

Oh and you have to spend a lot for new dresses
