I weened my way off after setting a quit date. Slowly but surely cut myself down on the intake of nicoteen to minimize the withdrawal symptoms.
Only smoke outside...and this includes your car. You will find that you will smoke less when it becomes inconvienent. When driving to work, get a cup of coffe or something to sip on to take the place of that cigarette you are use to smoking (yeah, that is still the hardest part).
Also, if you have a setback and smoke (or smoke alot after you begin to cut back) DON'T GIVE UP ON THE GOAL. It is only a set back, not the end of the world. So many people just give up. You will always want to smoke...it is with you for life...however as time rolls on, the cravings will be eaiser to ignor.
Get with your Doctor. There are so many things they can do to help....and they will be tripping over themselves to help. Also, check on the internet to see if your state has a quit help line. American Cancer Society: Call 1-800-ACS-2345 or http://www.cancer.org/docroot/PED/content/PED_10_13X_Guide_for_Quitting_Smoking.asp
It is a war to quit. Sometimes you loose a battle, but don't give up the war because of one, two or even ten screw ups. It is never too late to quit.
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my doc told me to make a schedule for each day.
for example, smoke at 9 am, then 12-3-6-9pm....
do this for 1 week, then make it 4 hours apart and so on... works good

COLD TURKEY is the only way. That is how I did it.
Watch the weight though, cause you will want to eat more.
Good luck
