get a doctor to prescribe you wellbutrin or zyban. you might not like the way the pills make you feel the first couple of days, but you'll get used to it.
after 2 weeks on the pills, add the patch (buy the biggest ones only), and stop smoking. the first 2 days might be really hard, but get through it, and it'll get better after the 2nd day.
after about a week wear only 2/3 of the patch, then another week, go down to 1/3 of the original patch size. one week later, ditch the patches. continue on the meds for another 2 weeks.
use nicorette if you still get nic fits.
i used this method to quit smoking a little over a year ago, after smoking a pack a day (sometimes more) for 24 years.

Share the news with your family and friends to get their support and enocouragement and also to ask them to look out for you. Get a new hobby or do some volunteer work so you will have somewhere to spend your time and get your mind off smoking.Stay away from friends who smoke so you will not get influence by them. Alternatively, you can get the help of your family doctor as they will know what is best for you body. Good luck quitting smoking :)

The best way to stop smoking is to find a better reason to quit then the excuses used to continue. I can name many reasons to quit but it has to be your reason, not mine. I quit 33 years ago and never went back. I had a sore throat and took one draw from a cigarette. It hurt like hell. I thought to myself, What Am I Doing? I literally flushed the cigarettes down the toilet. And got over my cold.

They have found a part of the brain, when it gets damaged, people that smoked lose all the need for that and quit cold turkey..
