I have smoked for many years now. I'm already overweight, so I wanted to find out what was the best way to quit smoking for sure. I didn't want to gain anymore weight by quitting smoking, and wanted to quit for sure now.
Does anyone have any good suggestions that could help me quit forever?

Well I can't say I know a true way to quit. I've heard people doing everything. I have had a few friends who were heavy set and smoked frequently. The way they all seemed to quit was to be more active. Started going to the gym and running/ bike riding. They are all very healthy now and havent smoked for a long time. They said that every time they craved a cigarette they would do some sort of Cardio activity. You could also try the patch while doing this. The gum as well when you crave a cigarette chew nicorette or any gum. Find something to take the place of the cigarette. I honestly believe its majority of a habbit problem. I mean the nicotine is addicting etc. But I think most people smoke after smokeing a long time can't quit because they have done it so long. Smoking causes a loss in apetite so don't decide since you stopped smoking to eat alot more because thats a problem I have seen. Quittings different for everyone you'll probably have attempted several different things before you can finally find what works for you. Just get out and try if you really want to quit you can. Good Luck to you!

The best thing way is through realization. You have to realize for yourself all of the bad things that smoking has brought into your life. Seriously, that tight feeling in your chest? That's not normal..
And go take a look at your tongue, see little dark dots on the side? Yeah those are from cigarettes for sure. And your teeth are looking just as terrible. And no, that cough is not normal. Once you face these things, quitting will come naturally.

The only serious way to quit is COLD TURKEY. That is the way I quit after 22 years. And I have been off of cigarettes for 20 years now and I still want one. Any one that says that they don't miss them is a liar.

Every person is different, I drink a full glass of water every time I feel the urge. Find out how long the sensation lasts (of wanting to smoke), believe it or not, it's only about 30-60 seconds. It increases a little and comes more often over time.

All the above answers I would recommend, plus constantly hanging out with friends/family who DON'T smoke. Especially if they know you're trying to quit, they'll definitely watch out for you.

Hypnotherapy...
I am serious, use hypnotherapy to back up the process of quitting. You may need two or three visits but I have heard this helps greatly. Then you may want to try the nicotine patches or gum along with his to keep your aggresion down through the withdrawal from smoking.

The patch worked for me. Depending how much you smoke will determine if you should use the 21mg, 14 mg or the 7mg patch. You apply the patch daily for 2 weeks, then move on to the lower dose for another 2 weeks. I was able to use the patch for one week and then move to the lower dose. You can even try the store brand of the patch, it works just as well.

Welcome to the club. I recently quit smoking like 3 months ago, uptill now I am strong in my resolve. The reason being I am 40 and think its high time I quit smoking before getting into serious health trouble.
I am using a combination of hypnosis and natural remedy (Crave-RX) to quit. Hynosis works at the subconscious level to eliminate the triggers that cause us to smoke and Crave-RX is good reduce nicotine craving and suppress withdrawal symptoms. I am not overweight so not worried about gaining weight.
The good thing about Crave-RX is it will also help to prevent the sugar cravings and compensatory overeating which often cause people to go back to cigarettes due to unwanted weight gain.
For detailed info on hypnosis and natural remedies go the following website.
