You seem to be saying that your smoking is inevitable because you haven't found the right "aid" to make quitting easier. Smoking is a powerful addiction that takes on a life of its own once you start (or re-start, as in your case). How do you know that your struggle with quitting is any more difficult than other smokers? The quickest, and ultimately "easiest" way to quit is cold turkey. Severe withdrawal diminishes rather rapidly, day by day, and in a matter of weeks, or a month or two it's relatively easy to manage. Not quitting, procrastinating, rationalizing, looking for a magic bullet just take you farther down the path to a likely miserable and premature death from lung cancer. It really is that simple, I believe.
