You can try writing this whole thing down and paste it on a wall.
Write something like "Days after quitting smoking" in big red letters on a sheet of cardboard and put it up. Each day you don't smoke make a mark in pencil on the sheet. However, erase the marks if you start smoking.
You can even combine this with che's idea. Put "Each mark is worth $x!" at the bottom.
This should give you an incentive to continue and a sense of accomplishment.(\__/) 07/07/1937 - Never forget

Instead of saving for something really nice, buy something really nice now so-that you can't afford smoking.Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

Actually, you are supposed to be able to at least partially compensate for the lack of smokes with either food, or sex.
