I quit cold turkey about 4 months ago. I was smoking less than a pack a day but it was still hard. I was lucky I caught a cold and that help diminish my cravings a lot. I didn't use a patch or anything else. I still crave it. Specially after a big meal. But it gets easier every day. The best thing to do is to keep yourself busy. If you get the cravings bad just go outside for a brisk walk or a bike ride. Replace the act of smoking with something else that is satisfying. Gradually your body learns to get off on healthy things. I had forgotten how good a glass a cold V8 tastes. Smoking is the only regret I'll ever have but I'm glad I finally kicked it.
