Here's what my experience taught me:
You will quit when you are strong enough and ready to quit. You can't win a fight with your body, it's a fight you can't win.
Frazod, you seem like a pretty strong willed dude from what I read on here. It's all about your will - power. Do you believe your will is strong? It is the only thing that will keep you from starting again. Think about how you would like to wake up tomorrow morning coughing blood, or unable to walk 2 blocks. Consider the punishment and IF you are ready inside, you will be successful.
Good luck dude!
P.S. As I have mentioned plenty of times here, I am a cancer survivor. Be strong!

I use to sell smokes out of my shop, and I have heard it all. IMO, you will quit when you have "willed" yourself into being a "nonsmoker". You cannot look at it like, "I haven't had a smoke for a month." That just means your dieing for a smoke and haven't had one for a while.
You have to get to the point of, "smoking, whats that anyways, those filthy rotten smokers, they should quit and clean up the worlds air and save a lot of money."
Hope I helped.
For your retirement fund, put the 3 bucks a day in your IRA for the rest of your working life and see how much money you retire with, AND have healthy lungs.
BE a non smoker now.
Good luck.
