Cold Turkey is not a good idea, if you are a regular smoker
Patches are very effective
I gave up a few months ago, after 2-3 days cold turkey I was fine.
Although I recently started having a couple a day again recently because I have no will power and a social group of smokers.
I blame them completely.

Disagree - smoked over a pack for 6-7 years.
When I decided it was time to quit, slowly reduced and eventually cut it off completely.
Different people respond to different 'methods'
Champix is amazing if cold turkey doesn't do it.
I gave up in order to save towards my wedding/honeymoon and managed it with little or no willpower at all. Unfortunately started again about 9 or 10 months after, but as a method of giving up I can't fault it.
How many do you smoke a day raboner?
I knew for a long time I wanted togive up but never committed to it. Over this time I did cut down quite successfully though, only really smoking at work. So no evenings or weekends (unless I was out drinking).
Then there just came a point where something snapped in my head and I thought "Thats it, Im done now" and thats when I stopped.
I do have the occasional one when around friends, but its a total "take it or leave it" thing. I didnt struggle at all - once my mind was set.
I think the problem is with a lot of smokers (myself included) giving up is that you want to because its the right thing to do, but you dont WANT to, hence you fail. Once I made the choice/realisation that I genuinely wanted to stop it was really easy.
Its been about 2 months now. I was at a wedding last Friday, eating and drinking all day, didnt even think about cigarettes let alone crave them.

probably about 10-15 a day.. more on weekends.. i think i really do want to, as i had my first cigarette at 16 and i'm now 24..
if i can get through this weekend, i think I'll be ok..
it's going to be tough though.
