TTE, what worked for me was quitting smoking in every instance that I would want a cigarette one by one. I started by not smoking in my car. Months later I stopped smoking at work. Eventually, I stopped smoking after work when I was at home. The only thing that I haven't kicked yet is the urge to smoke when I drink. Honestly, I may have to quit drinking to quit smoking. Some people may say that I am still considered a smoker, but I am happy with what I have accomplished so far. I used to smoke a pack a day. Now a pack would last me a month if the damn things didn't get stale.

Baby steps, no physical aids, just cut back until you stop. Cold turkey just results in relapse.
