I have found the E-Cigarettes to be a bit helpful. But for me, overall the cold-turkey method has always worked better whenever I tried to quit. You just have to push through that 1st month hump and you will be on the right track. Maybe it will help to know what to expect?
Some of the things I experienced....irritability, hunger or a desire to fill my mouth with something since I didn't have a cigarette anymore, restless legs, teeth grinding and at one point headaches (I got that and knew some other ppl who did as well) but it passes after a few days. Exercise of some sorts and/or be active/busy to distract yourself from smoking (I tend to get the urge to smoke when I am bored and feel I have absolutely nothing to do).
Do your best not to surround yourself too often around people who smoke, ESPECIALLY during the first few weeks of quitting. Even if they do not try to encourage you to have one, the smell of and the act of watching them smoke one is FAR too tempting!
You will know you've made progress when you eventually try to have one and it tastes disgusting or afterwards you really wish you hadn't done that.
Best of luck to you.
