I quit five years ago, due to a health crisis as well. It wasn't related to the smoking, but I knew that my body didn't need anymore problems. I thought "what the heck am I doing to myself?"... I use the mint flavored Nicorette. It's expensive, but darn it, I'm worth it. Notice Don Imus chews the gum non stop! NO weight gain, and tons of energy.
For those who don't want to use the gum, it's best to have it on hand for times of tension.
My dear husband still smokes. I wish he would quit. He needs to.
Happy New Year, Carlo. YOU can do it. Your life depends on it :)

Brings back memories..I started smoking in 1968, when I went into the service..everyone did it..I was up to about two pack a day..quit cold turkey when I got out in 1972..it wasn't hard..NOT..but Wrigley's stock went up soon after..LOL..aggravates me something fierce how Hollywood always shows young kids smoking...
