@whowasthatmaskedman Well, the smoking cessation class that I took, when the instructor said to us on the first day, "Okay! Your quit date is April 25th" I said to myself, uhhhh what? I ain't quitting on that day, I'll choose my day (but that day would never come)
I didn't want to quit, but when my friend mentioned it, I thought I'll give it a shot. And then once I realized the instructor giving us a quit date, that's part of the process. I wouldn't say it's hard, more like, if you do it and stick with it, then you're fine. Anyone can do it.

@twiigss Exactly..A few pointers from someone who did it before patches were around:
One cigarette is a breakdown. But this isnt shattering a window. Just kick yourself and dont have another.
It takes your body less than 10 days to withdraw from nicotine, so you are "clean" after that. But it can take years to get past the psychogical dependencies. Like always having that smoke with coffee. (I switched to tea) Or having something in your mouth at times to "draw" on. (I put a pin hole in a pen top and it sat there) Those are the ones that will trip you up.. Or hanging with the smoking crowd in that favourite spot at work.. Just dont quit quitting. Every cigarette you dont smoke does you good and saves you in taxes..馃樂
