Ok, so I just went through this last month. been a smoker for over 10 years and yes.. it's a bitch.
Here is what i did.
Ask Dr. for a Zyban prescription (yes I know.. anti pyschotic). they tell you to take this for 6 months.. you don't need it. first you load on the Zyban. take for 7 days, on the 7th day buy a 200 pack of nicorette (fresh mint is the best, but i found that the original mint seems to taste like shit.. but makes you not wan't to chew it after a while). Depending on your level of smoking, I took the 4mg pieces of gum. Start chewing! after another week on zyban, reverse.. slowly ween yourself off of zyban. after 6 weeks on the gum, you will be down to about 1 piece a day, then it's nothing to quite.
Dude, it's a bitch, and the zyban is just mean't to take the edge off for a while. I was a fucking zombie for 3 weeks.. but at least i didn't shoot any of the employees in my office!
remeber, whats worse.. chewing nicrorette the rest of your life, or not being able to breathe!
Good luck
