Sorry not much help, but if you want to quit it's really a matter of just not doing it.

It is that easy if you actually want to.
I know that i'm not going to be a smoker for the rest of my life now because of one thing and one thing only.
I smoked for about 5 years, then quit for about 3 months. Then started again and that went on for another year, then i quit for 6 months. The second time was much much harder than the first. The nicotine cravings were insane. This time, being almost 2 years after i quit the second time was the hardest with the physical cravings. That mixed with the fact that people actually do want to light up a smoke will prevent people from quitting.
Your wife is a very common case though. She probably quit for the kid. The easiest thing to do is something for your kid.
Everybody is different and it basically comes down to.. you aren't goin gto quit if you still want to light up a smoke at some point in time in your life (whether it be while drinking or whatever).. as long as you want to never light one up, you will be fine.
