I'm in the process of quitting, almost 2 weeks smoke free. Did it cold turkey, first three days were atrocious until the nicotine was out of my system, but I found flavored gum helped and playing puzzle games on the phone whenever I felt a craving kick in.
And try to avoid putting nicotine back into your system via patches or gums, it'll just make the process much harder and longer.
It's okay to crave it, but remember that you didn't actually enjoy smoking, it was just a habit that you can shake off.
