Seven years without a single cigarette now. Smoked for about 15 years.

My wife was doing her LLM in the US, while I stayed in Brazil. On my first trip there I bought a box of nicotine patches to endure the 15-hour (or so) trip.
While on it, I thought "what the hell, gonna give it a try" and so, after the three months (I guess) of treatment, no cigarettes anymore.

BTW, the other thing that really, really helped was a lot of peppermint tic-tacs. The ones that really sting, they can distract the throat a lot...
