I know this is going to sound weird, but when I was giving up cigarettes, for two years I kept a twenty pack and a lighter on my bedlocker. I didn't want to feel that I was depriving myself. It was my choice not to smoke. Even if I did smoke one night, it didn't mean that I was back to square one. My next cigarette was always my choice. It worked for me. I haven't smoked in many years
