Hi Adam,
I smoked for about 15 years before I quit two years ago. I smoked about 30 cigarettes a day. One day I realized I hated it. Quitting was quite easy. Every time I wanted to smoke, I asked myself "who's the boss in my life: Philip Morris or me?" That helped. I also realized that I had trained myself a pattern to regularly reach my mouth with my hand. That realization was quite odd, but it's a side effect of smoking for many years.
Nowadays I still seem to be more sensitive to smoke than people who never smoked. I hate the smell and my body still reacts. I hope that this will become less by time.
Good luck! Remember: quitting smoking means just not to smoke that next cigarette.
