Puzzdre, if you want to quit, here's a tip:

Buy lots of booze, and wait until you have a few days off. When you can stay home for four days straight, the last day of work, stop smoking at around 6 PM, and tough it out for the night (you'll be tired, so go to bed early). Drink lots of water that night.

Day One: Start drinking booze first thing upon waking up, alternating one drink:on glass of water. Make sure that you NEVER LEAVE THE HOUSE AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING IN THE HOUSE TO SMOKE. By noon you should be pretty wasted. Be sure to gorge yourself on as much food as possible during this, and keep drinking booze and water. Your body will be screaming for hydration, as nicotine is a diuretic. The withdrawals are not nearly as bad if you are drunk, full, and hydrated. If necessary, take 400 mg Ibuprofin every 4 hours. By the end of the day, your body will be purged of nicotine completely. Take 2x multivitamins.

Day Two: This is the worst day. Anyone can make it one day, but day two (36-60 hours) is the hardest part. Start doing the same routine as day one, but try to have somebody over (who doesn't smoke) to ENSURE that you don't get weak and stumble to the nearest store for relief. You should have slept around 10-12 hours the previous night, and you will be very tired this second day due to withdrawals. Every four hours, take 200 mg Ibuprofin and 1 TBSP of sugar to fight the insulin buildup from the alcohol and residuals from withdrawals. You will need to go to the bathroom, but you'll need to take a laxative to do it (trying not to be sick here). If you don't go, you'll be in misery on day three. Take 2x multivitamins.

Day Three: You probably didn't oversleep too much. You won't need to drink so much booze today (though you'll need the water DESPERATELY), and your eating habits should return to normal somewhat. Keep up 1TBSP sugar/200 mg Ibuprofin every four hours. Tough it out, and have a friend. Withdrawals won't be too bad this day. Take a multivitamin, and try to go to sleep at the normal time.

Day Four: Get off the booze completely. Keep drinking water constantly, and try to eat normally. You shouldn't need the Ibuprofin or the sugar. Take a nap in the afternoon. Take a multivitamin (continue taking daily for the next month). Brace yourself for temptation when you return to the world and make plans to avoid ANY AND ALL smoking related events.

Day Five: Withdrawals are completely over. You'll be constipated as hell, but otherwise, the only things that will make you start smoking again is habit and psychosomatic issues. Good luck in your smoke-free life.

This is a guaranteed method of cold-turkey quitting. I've put at least a dozen people through it, and 2/3 are still smoke free at the six month point. Nobody wants to go through that again. The only thing that would make you start again is if you're stupid enough to have another smoke. If you have just one, you will be smoking more than in the beginning within a week. That is a promise. There is no "just one" when it comes to smoking.
