Just think about how disgusting smoking is. Think about how bad it makes you smell. Think about how you are slowly but surely damaging all your internal organs, especially your lungs. Think of smoking as a slow and eventually very painful suicide. I can't really empathize with you because I've never smoked a cigarette or anything else. I'm not doubting your addiction is severe or that it is very difficult to quit. There are some who can quit at the drop of a hat and others that may need extra help. Try the gum or the patch if you have to. Just don't get addicted to those. They are very expensive.
At first, you may need to replace your smoking habit with a substitute vice. Something like coffee or tea. Don't replace it by overeating as this is counterproductive. I've seen people gain 50 lbs. after quitting smoking. Your metabolism will slow down after you quit, but if you get into eating healthy, it will speed right back up. Best of luck to you.
