In other words if you can tough it out for one fucking week, you are past the physical part and the rest is all in your mind.

Good post. I've read and heard from my doc that it takes 7-10 days to break the initial physical addiction depending on your body's chemistry. I know the first 72 hours was pure physical hell when I quit. I used the inhaler, and I think that was the only reason I was able to do it because of the "oral fix" smokers have.
But it's easier to get off of smack than it is cigs. So, you're gonna need at least a couple of months of no smoking before you can really say you've "quit"..but if you can make it past the first week or so..you'll be in pretty good shape if you REALLY WANT to quit as opposed to knowing you should.
Good luck mate!
