<reads over the suggestions> umm ya...
Ok here is the way it works in simple terms. If you want to quit successfully, you have to realy and truely want it. If a part of you does not want you to quit, then it will nag and chew and harrass you endlessly untill you give in or you have a moment of weakness. You have to have solid concrete reasons to counter the little inner voices excuses and attempts. So don't bother if you don't realy mean it.
Second when dealing with a smoking addiction you have basicly 2 sub types to deal with, chemical (physical) dependancy and Habbitual/psychological dependancy. As such its usualy suggested that you do something to replecate (or keep your hands busy) when you would normaly smoke, this can include stuff like using a nicoteen inhaler (they are shaped and used similar to cigarettes and work well), or just keeping a pencil or other object of similar shape and size to play with.
Also try to avoid stuff that you did along with smoking, particularly drinking. Alchohol for one thing will lower your resolve/resistance so that you will probably relapse. Strong associations will trigger the impulse to smoke.
Last I'm not sure if trying to deal with a caffeen addiction at the same time as dealing with a smoking addiction is wise. Unless its a minor habbit it can conflict with your resolve, especialy as the 2 chemicals are fairly related.
Anyhow I would suggest a nicotine device (inhaler is probably the best kind), as they do increase the odds of quiting successfully.
