Never tell yourself you want one. Never.
Whenever you see someone smoking, or think about smoking, tell yourself "I'm never smoking another cigarette as long as I live"
I'm serious.
I quit for 13 months once, but every time I saw someone smoking, or smelled someone smoking, or thought about smoking I'd think "man I wish I could have one" or "geez a smoke would be great right now"
I'm telling you, if you do that it's only a matter of time before you give in and have one. I started again after 13 months and gradually worked my way back up to a pack a day for several years again before I successfully quit again, and now it's been almost 7 years, and I will never have another cigarette in my life time.
