I quit almost 8 1/2 years ago. I went from about a pack of Marlboro lights a day to nothing. Yup cold turkey!
I do chew a lot of gum (much to my mom's dismay). The cravings pretty much are gone. The only time the urge comes back is when something stressful or traumatic happens and I say "dammit, I could use a smoke"
But I never give in to the urge...because I know I will start up again
My parents and sister still smoke...they haven't been able to quit.
