Hi,
It seems you are really determined to quit smoking. You can try the options of medicines like bupropion to reduce your craving for cigarettes and stop. Otherwise, you can try nicotine replacement products like gum or lozenges instead of cigarettes and then quit these gradually. E-cigarettes are another option. Being in the company of people who smoke acts as a strong cue to induce craving. Avoid it as much as possible.
Best wishes.
