Changing your habits around smoking can make it much easer to actually quit when you decide to stop smoking.  I stopped smoking in the car six months before I quit, and a month before I stopped smoking I would have one smoke when I sat down at the computer or watched TV, and wouldn't have another for at least an hour.  Breaking the emotional and habitual attachment to smoking, increases your chances of becoming a successful non-smoker. 
I wish everyone the best of luck.

 Those are all great idea's!!!  
 
For me.. I haven't smoked in my house for hmm 5 yrs or better and I live in Minnesota so that means standing outside freezing your arse off to smoke. That alone at this time of year has made me cut down. I smoke about 2- 5 cigs from the time I get home (5:30) till bed time which is around 11-12. So I would say that in it's self is cutting back. In the summer I'd be out there ever 20 min or so. 
 
I do agree with you about changing habits.... It certainly HELPS!!
