I'm a quitter!
After a 30 year 2+ pack a day habit, I quit smoking on Mother's Day 2007 with the help of Chantix. I had tried so many other ways to quit unsuccessfully, but Chantix was a godsend, IMO. Best thing I ever did for myself and my family.
One thing that I couldn't believe after being smoke free was how bad I used to smell and how much my smoke interferred with non-smokers. I can always tell when I am driving behind a smoker. ::sarcasm:: I love sharing their cigarette w/them ........... barf!
Admittedly, there are times I'd still love to have a cig, but that passes quickly.
Wishing you the best!

Oh boy do I feel your pain! I smoked for nearly 30 years @ 2packs a day -- but when the heart clinic told me my heart was SEVENTY years old -- it was the wakeup call I needed. First the smoking, then the surgery -- already feel better than I did in my early 20's. You can do it!!
PS I have saved $7,472.00 on cigarettes since I quit -- just wi**** was in my bank account! If I was going to do it over, I would continue pretending to buy cigs and putting that money in the bank! :)
