I've quiet smoking since September 2007,
the first 2 weeks are thought, but here's what I did.
I smoked my last cigarette at night, I broke the rest of the package in tiny bits threw them away, and started the next day quiting.
the first days I just had a bottle of water, whenever I felt like smoking I just took the ''smoking break'' but instead of a cigarrete I just drank water.
(replacing the cigarette by candy or Nico-patches is just replacing the habbit not breaking it, also slowly quiting aint gonna help a bit 1 cig a day is already too much its the ''one more cant hurt can it'' thing.)
you will notice quikly that the Nicotine aint the bad guy, its the habbit

Wake-up cig, the after breakfast cig, after coffee cig etc etc.
whenever you crave for a cigarette just kept thinking of the negative things of smoking, it helped for me.
because if you REALLY care about yourself, you can QUIT smoking.
