I'm planning to quit (again) when the current stock of duty free baccy runs out. However, I refuse to stop smoking on any of these non-smoking days/weeks/months things as I'll give up on my terms not some other do-gooder anti-everything-anyone-enjoys-that-is-bad-for-you types terms.

The tiny mints for when out and about and drinking. They gave a massive hit of nicotine which immediately killed all cravings (I had to drop to the low dosage ones straight away)
I used the gums when driving as traffic jams were always a smoking hot spot for me so I needed something that I could draw out.
You're supposed to cut down on the mints and gum and then stop after 3 months. I just decided to use them for as long as I needed to. After 6 months I was sick of them but I had broken the smoking habits and routines.

You've now been a non-smoker for:

In that time you've saved over £441.00
You've avoided smoking over 1323 cigarettes.
You've extended your life by over 6.43 days.
Since you've quit smoking:
After 20 minutes, your blood pressure drops back to normal
In 8 hours, the carbon monoxide levels in your bloodstream drop by half, and oxygen levels return to normal
In 48 hours, your change of having a heart attack decreases. All nicotine has left your system. You sense of taste and smell return to a normal level
In 72 hours, your bronchial tubes relax and your energy levels increase
In 2 weeks, your circulation increases and continues to improve for the next 10 weeks
In 2 month coughs, wheezing and breathing problems dissipate as your lung capacity improves by 10%
Cold Turkey for me too, worked rather than a long drawn out reduction of nicotine or using patches.
I do have the occasional lapse.
