I just quit a week ago, without any cravings. Smoked for 4 years. Key is to want to quit, or have a reason. Evaluate the situations that you associate smoking with, like driving, after a meal, or drinking. These are the situations that you need to control. I used the patch to help with this. Start out with a 21 mg. patch for 7 days, then switch to 14 mg. for 7 days, then if you still need a patch, there is a 7 mg. one. There is also a pill that your doctor can prescribe you that you can use in combination with the patch.
You can also try the nicorette gum or commit lozenge, both of which I think are gross.
Let the people who are close to you, like family, friends and coworkers, know that you're trying to quit. They may help motivate you and give you a reason to keep on with your goal.
Best of luck!

A cartridge to put in the pack that reduces tar and nicotine 90%
plus. Then in a couple of weeks switch onto nicorette.
Fill in with popcycles and gum and hard candies:cinnamon, fruit cream ,chocolate mint. Drink coffee and ice cold soda pop.That should do it.Eat salads raw or cooked vegetables in a large size serving.

I used the patch to help me quit. But, you really have to want to quit, or all of the aides in the world won't help.

Wait until you get the flu, and smoking hurts.
Stop while your sick, and just don't start again.
Compleatly sucks for about 2 weeks, but it get's better.
Worked for me.

it is a mind-over-matter situation: how strong is your will-power to quit...?
