I quit about a year and a bit back (10/28/2006, sometime around midnight) after smoking for ten years. Toughest thing I've done in my life but well worth the effort. The first two weeks are horrible but it gets easier from then on.
I'd suggest enrolling in a gym or taking up jogging or something. It helped me a TON.
Word of advice - don't use a patch. It only prolongs the suffering.
Anyway... best of luck, hope you succeed.
