Quit in October 1992. Was 37 and had smoked since 16. Over the years, gradually smoked lighter, and lighter cigarettes (nicotine levels), so breaking the nicotine addiction wasn't that bad, but quitting the "habit" was difficult.
Remember, the first year will be tough. There will always be something new to remind you of smoking; holidays, fishing, golfing, you name it, it will take a year to get through the "cycle".
With us (wife quit the day before I did), our lives, friends, and habits changed. All for the better. Good luck to you.
(but fwiw, if I knew I would be dead in six months, I would start smoking right now - loved to smoke, and the odor of a fresh cigarette lighting up still smells good to me)
