4 and a half shaky weeks!
I've been on the lozenges and taken some advice from this thread to go for NRT overkill so I've used the 4mg lozenges meant for serious chain smokers. That got me through weeks 1 & 2, now I'm on NRT for what I used to smoke (15-20, 2mg lozenges) and go for the step down in a a week and a half. I seem totally over it this time, mentally little urge to have smokes at all, but lots of physical cravings.
Looking forward to an independant life
