I am waiting for my date too and have gone down to 4-5 cigs a day from 2 packs over the past 2 months. I just started taking out a few from a pack at first to make my packs smaller, played the wait a half hour game (upon urge to smoke make yourself wait a 1/2 hour try to distract) I tried the gum but it was to much nicotine for me and I just got a script for nicotrol inhaler. I've used that in the past and quit.

I hope you are succesful and get a date soon.
