Congratulations!! I stopped smoking 6 months ago. I had smoked about the same as you for 27 years and I was really tired of it. I was tired of the way I felt, the expense of the cigarettes and the smell of everything (what little I could smell). I quit cold turkey. Haven't had a single puff since and I hope I never do. I was a little nervous at first. I didn't realize how nearly EVERY activity I did was done with a cigarette. When I'd hit a rough patch, I'd just tell myself that as long as I don't take a puff, I'm smoke free. Also, the urge to smoke will hit you, but will pass in about 10-15 minutes. Try to ride out those minutes during an urge.
