You should ask yourself first :
Do I REALLY want to quit?
Because, in all decency, if you ask most smokers who are trying to, their answer usually is ''No, I'm doing it for the family/(something else)''
[Well, unless one is pregnant or has a child under 6yrs at home]
If your not quitting for your own self, then it's not worth quitting for anyone else.
However, if you really do want to, for your own health, then thats a good start.
My tip if to cut it cold turkey directly for 3 days. If you can survive 3 days, you can survive for a long time, trust me.
On the other hand, if you can't manage that, take to roll ups. They take longer time (No more smoking while walking) last longer (money wise) and when your bored you might not end up rolling it up ('I'm to bored to roll up this, urghh'') When you get to 2-3 a day, drop it.
I am telling this from the experiences I've had from friends who quit. A friend of mine succesfully stopped thanks to the above technique.
Either way, I wish you the best of luck in your attempt to quit.
