I smoked for 10-11 years and was eventually smoking 3 packs a day... every day. I tried quitting numerous times but was unsuccessfull. One morning I woke up and I was coughing up brown shit and could barely breathe... and I was 28 at the time. That was the wake up call I needed. I threw out what smokes I had left in the pack. That same day I went to the local bicycle shop and bought myself a decent mountain bike. I started off slow but eventally got up to doing 10 miles every day. I also joined a gym. I took charge of my health. I look and feel great.
I had to stay away from bars for the first few weeks and I stopped drinking coffee too. I had the after meal cravings but never gave in. Always have some gum handy and chew it when you get a craving.
I quit cold turkey 3 years ago and haven't cheated even once.
