Sorry I don't know of a sight but good luck!
I have stopped and it shall be 4 years in October.
My advice is
Be strong!
Be determined!
Stay away from smokers!
Stay away from pubs!
Exercise!
Drink ginger tea or drinks that have added spice to them (This will take away the craving)
Keep a packet stashed in a drawer so you feel in control (it works honestly)
Think of it as ending a bad relationship
Think of walking into a restaurant and saying table for 2 NO SMOKING!
Let me know how you go

Your looking in the right direction. Having constant, and I mean CONSTANT support is the best way. From people who understand how hard it is. If you feel like smoking, talk to someone right away that will support you. Check out www.quit.com
Here is a link that if you become a member, it has employees that will be there for you when you feel the need. At the bottom on the page there is an employee support program contact to click on. Join it.

Sorry I don't know any sites, I quit last October, best thing I ever did, I had been a smoker since I was 13, I'm so made up with myself. I wish you all the luck x

Well done, you.
I stopped two years ago with some help from patches. I made the choice and did it for me, and it was easier than I thought, having been a smoker for more than thirty years.
Good luck, I hope you make it.

hi i stopped 3 1/2 weeks ago i went to to a whitch doctor and believe me it's worked it's not a quick fix and not easy but it certanlt takes the edge off i paid £70 well worth it i went with two other people from work and they haven't touched one since either. also my dad who had smoked for 40 years went before christmas and he's not had one since it was really clever he really relaxed me and then used accupunture i think it's well worth a go if your serious about stopping x

I don't, but I wanted to say good for you, and best of luck. Not that you'll need luck, since you have such a good reason to quit - if you really want more kids then you'll have no trouble quitting...the hardest part is deciding that you truly want to...

I don't know any site, but my boyfriend stopped smoking for 7 years now and he doesn't smoke any more.
He used to chew some chewing-gum for smokers who want to stop.
but as he said, it's in your head if you really want to stop.
So good luck!

No, sorry, I don't know of any and I've never touched a cigarette, let alone smoked on in my life (honestly).
