You can do it. It will be 3 years end of this month for me. I still have the half a pack of cigs I had when I quit. Any time I wanted one I would remind myself that all the suffering I had endured to that point would be wasted and that would be same as self inflicted torture. If you can go 1 day you can go for ever. I would say no to the cigar. My brother inlaw tried that after quitting for a year and is now back to 2 packs a day.
