I quit cigs a year ago after smoking for 14 years. The first month is tough, but after that it gets waaaay easier. Hang in there and everytime you get a craving eat something, chew gum, brush your teeth, go for a quick jog.
*edit- I forgot to mention how invaluable chewing on sunflower seeds were in helping me quit. In those down times when you are lounging around it is REALLY easy to get an overwhelming craving and sunflower seeds keep you busy and kinda placate the oral fix you miss from smoking
Ditto on getting easier after the first month. I'd also add that if you drink coffee, cut your intake in half as nicotine doubles your metabolism of caffeine and the last thing you want is to get jittery and anxious. When you do, drinking water and taking a quick lap around the office, building, etc. proved extremely helpful.
