I have been a pack a day girl up until feb this year, nearly over a pack a day but DH and i were smoking and it was soo hard to stop!
I had surgery and was advised not to smoke, i felt like crap when i got out and would have killed for a ciggie but thankfully as i was staying at mums FOR A FEW DAYS, she stopped me.
Its been 7 weeks now and i wont lie, i still crave them but by the time i actually got in the car to buy some, the cravings gone. The habit was more so a problem for me, wake up, make coffee have a smoke....go shopping, get out to car have a smoke...i know i was a heavy smoker and thankfully as i was ill for those days i stopped. Hubby went bush for 3 days with mates who didnt smoke and they were too far from a shop to buy any so he stopped.
We still crave but we support each other, we haved saved approx $1000 in this time too, i am astounded we were spending so much!!
Honestly i have tried for 5 years to give up, using patches, gum, etc and nothing worked for me except going cold turkey.
Try find something as a hobby to take up that engrosses you so you forget about having a ciggie it will help i am sure! Walking helps me too and i feel alive, i am glowing, i can taste food (everything smells off lol as its so strong) i am saving a fortune and i can breathe...

Good luck, its damn hard to give up, but if i can stop ANYONE CAN!!
