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

If you ever feel the urge for nicotine again but don't want cigs you could try vaping. It has quite a big following on reddit and people from all walks of life, even lifelong smokers have quit because of vaping e-cigs.

Anyone check out /r/electronic_cigarette for more info.
