I found it a lot easier to quit when the physical craving was taken care of. Though I managed, after multiple attempts, to get Nicorette to work for me. I found it helpful to avoid situations where I had previously smoked a lot (coffee, alcohol, etc). You probably can't avoid all of them but remember that the less you think about it, the less you will think about it, if that makes sense.
Anyway, congratulations on a good idea. I still say quitting smoking was the smartest thing I have ever done.
