Congrats. I quit 12 years ago. Have not even had one in that period. Your body will love you in a few weeks when you start to taste things again, have more energy, and your home and car will smell much better.
Congrats!!!! Keep up the good work!
My dad quit 11 years ago, after smoking heavily for 30 years. I remember how hard it was for him to quit, but he felt much better shortly after. Stick with it.
Good to hear you taking steps to make things better. Now you'll have more spare time in the day to post on BITOG. 
I quit in 1979 after about 6 or 7 years of the habit. I basically had to change my group of friends, could not do it with everybody around me smoking all the time. The way I finally quit my 2-3 pack a day habit was to chew toothpicks--all the time (except when I slept). My pickup floor was littered with chewed toothpicks. Think it took me several years to break the toothpick habit.
What will the government do for tax revenue now?
Have continued success!

Congrats to you...It's hard to quit. I quit 5 years and 4 months ago and I know how hard it is. I smoked for 22 years. Keep it up, the first few days are the worst then you will feel a lot better and it gets even better from then on. Think of the money you can save and spend it on oil and filters, transmission fluids, etc etc...
Congrats.

Take up running or something that makes you use your lungs more. Not only will it help clean out your lungs more, but also it will help keep you from going back to cigarettes. Pretty hard to justify smoking when you need your lungs for running.
Are all smokers slobs? I was. When I smoked, I threw buts on the ground all the time and dumped ashtrays in parking lots. Now that I am not a smoker I realize what slobs many smokers are.
Here is my worst low: In high school once, I ran out of cigarettes and had no money. I actually picked up a butt off the ground, lit it and took a few drags. Now that is getting pretty low!
What really kills me is how a smoker will not use the ash tray in their car because they don't want to get it dirty. Never mind their lungs, but that ashtray is very important.

Tall Paul is right.
Good luck on staying nicotine free.
Those poison sticks will only shorten your life.

How much is a pack of smokes these days? It's got to be getting expensive, what with all the new taxes and such.
Congrats on quitting. I gave up the cancer sticks 10 years ago, when I started cycling. I haven't had one since. I still get the cravings; don't think they will ever go away completely.
