I was at 2 packs a day. Had been smoking for 40 years. Then 19 months ago I had to go have two teeth implants, and the dentist said smoking can cause a lot of problems during the healing period. My sister said she had the same implant but continued to smoke ... and had all kinds of horrible infections and other problems.
So when I went to the dentist for the implants (steel rods into the jaw bones), I smoked a cigarette in the parking lot. That was my last cigarette. Quit cold turkey. Threw out a carton of cigarettes. I amazed myself that I did it cold turkey. At that time, I had lost a total of 105 lbs over the previous 2 years on a diet. Of course, I've put 60 lbs back on ... snacking, especially at night. But I'm back on my diet because my butt is almost too big for the seat in the Cobra. 
My sister quit about 5 years ago. She used the Nicorette gum.
Good Luck
