It all comes down to wanting to quit and WHY you're quitting. If your desire and reason is strong enough quitting gets a lot easier.
Family, health, loved ones, taking too many 5 minute breaks during work, money, smell, etc. You have to find your reason to quit besides "it's the right thing to do". If you don't have a good reason to quit then you'll never quit.
I smoked pretty heavily (30-35 cigs a day) for about 4 years in my teens (13-17), but then one day I just stopped because I hated getting questioned by my folks. Maybe not the best reason, but it worked for me. Now I don't smoke because all the smoking, drinking, and drugs in my teens has fucked up my liver to the point that every doc says I'll need a transplant before I'm 35 even if I didn't smoke/drink until then.
Now I only smoke when I drink (yeah, my docs hate that), which isn't much. I probably had a dozen drinking/smoking days/nights in the past 3 years so I'm happy.
My dad quit smoking after 40 years of smoking because we kept HOUNDING him until he did and then one day he just went cold turkey and I can't even remember how long he's quit now, at least 8 years.
So basically, you have to really get a good reason to quit (good enough for you) and then have the desire to quit. But like most people have said, quitting isn't a permanent thing so you have to always remember your reasons to not start again.
Good luck, it's a hard thing to do.
