When I gave up 30 years ago, I was a very addicted smoker, 40 to 50 a day. It was very, very hard giving up, and that is why I never started again. I was hell to live with, I sucked menthol and eucalyptus sweets until I had a mouth full of ulcers and then went on the Rinstead Pastills. So Morticia if your finding it really hard, stick with it, because when you do finally kick the habit, you won't be one of those people who starts again "because it'll be easy to give up again".
