I am coming up on 2.5 years cigarette free, and I'm a little over 2 years tobacco free completely (cigars were my thing). I just quit one day, said I'm done. I wish you all the best on this one, but you really need to want it. If you don't really want to quit, it won't stick. This is what I have learned from all my experience with friends and everything. You can usually quit for a time, but if you don't have a good reason to quit or don't really want to, you're much more likely to go back to it. I don't want to discourage you, but I want to encourage you to find a good reason to want to quit. That will make all the difference in the long run because a couple of months later if you are thinking how much you miss it you start wondering why you quit and you bum one off someone. Next thing you know you're buying a pack a week, then every other day, until your right back to where you were before. It is definitely all about being in the right mindset.
