I smoked for over 12 years. Today I do not crave cigarettes - in fact I hate the smell.
what I did:
i quit using the patch for 3 months and did not touch a cigarette for 5-6 months.
i craved cigarettes and I did not want to keep that up - So I bought a pack of American Spirit full flavor cigarettes. I made a deal with myself that I would put out the cigarette the second I found it nasty.
i did not smoke a full cigarette and I did not smoke the whole pack. Some I lit and put out after one drag, others I smoked 3/4 of it.
that was 10 years ago.
