shot3743: That was my experience. First I tried to give up then caved in after days of craving.
Tried again a week later and same thing. This happened a few times over a long period.
My friends would all laugh and ask if I was smoking or quitting!
So I decided on a different tack. No more attempts to to give up unless I really really meant it and felt I was strong enough to tough it out. So I didn't give the matter any more major thought until about a year or so later I was talking to this guy in a restaurant and offered him a ciggy.
No thanks he said, I gave up years ago. They rob you of your energy. But go ahead and smoke, it doesn't bother me.
So I smoked my last cigarettes and the next morning I was looking for a Tabac place to buy some more Marlboros (this was in France), and I couldn't find one, and kept on walking. Then suddenly I said to myself, OK that was it. (expletives deleted).
And that was 10/5/1985. Since that day, no more ciggies, no pain, no withdrawal symptoms, no nothing. Put on some weight though.

I found that when I had made up my mind it was not so difficult.
