I smoked from age 16 to 30. Gave it up many times sometimes for up to a year and always went back. I just enjoyed it. I quit cold turdy at age 30. It took two things for it to happen. #1 found out I was going to be a dad and #2 cigarettes went up to 1.50 a pack. I would like to think that it was primarily the child thing, but I am a cheap *******.

I personally loved my Uncles outlook on quitting smoking. He was a lifelong smoker who at age 60 found out his wife wanted a divorce. He decided as long as he was going to be miserable might as well be miserable and not smoke. He has not touched one since.
