as we know, cold turkey hits people in different ways. I smoked for 20 years solid and giving up, well for me I thought of it as a challenge and it passed after a couple of weeks. However I still wanted one when I was out with mates for about a year 
I didn’t give in though as I would have been back to square 1.
I now smoke 1 on an evening in summer sat in the garden, sat out with a beer, then I give up again for winter. However there is no cold turkey, I just stop. All in moderation
