I quit cold turkey, but it took me a couple of tries to stick to it. I never thought about replacing it with anything. I just kept thinking about how I couldn't climb 2 flights of stairs without going out of breath, how my hair, clothes and fingers always stank, how smoking has taken over my life. I think it was the control thing that made me quit for good. I didn't want the cigarette to control my life.
