My recommendations for killing the urge for a smoke:
-Hang out with nonsmokers. They won't be lighting up and making you think about it, plus it's puts some pressure on you since nonsmokers generally don't like to be chatting with someone who's blowing smoke.
-Wait until you're sick to quit. When I have a cold, not only do I have zero desire to smoke, but just the thought of it makes me feel worse. Feeling that way would make it a lot easier to begin the quitting process.
-Stay busy. No idle time watching TV, no extended car trips by yourself, etc.
-If you don't take the cold turkey route, taper off by using the above tactics plus do things to make it more of a pain in the ass. For instance, make up a "no smoking" rule for your house. If you have to step outside to have a smoke, you'll probably be doing it a lot less because it's more of a pain in the ass.
