Secondly, another way to quit on the "psychological side" of things is this: quit cold turkey (or the patch) and move. That's it, just move away. See, right now in your daily routine, smoking has been associated with everything....ie, lighting up during a simple drive to the store, etc. The point is to drop all the "familiar settings" and get the heck out. People under estimate the power of new surroundings. When you get into a new town/place, just keep in mind that this is your 'new life' where you make some changes....there is no association with smoking anywhere. Just keep it that way. And in this new place, you'll create new daily routines..hopefully without smoking.

I know that sounds weird and 'out there', but this is your life we're talking about it.
And any change can only help you.
