This is probably the best decision you've ever made. Good luck and good health!

Well, I have now added some weight as a side effect, but I guess that addiction could be fixed too

The same thing happened to me when I quit (cold turkey) in '92. I used to smoke 1-2 cigarettes a day, but even that was too much. Today I can't imagine inhaling cigarette smoke!
I'm much healthier today than I was years ago. No dieting, just some simple lifestyle choices: I take the stairs whenever I can, eat small portions, drink about 2L of water a day, and make sure I get a balanced diet. I also never miss a yearly physical. So far so good, but I know I have to exercise more to stay limber as I age.
Good luck and good health!

Sounds like a good plan

Yay,
Now don't backslide with alcohol.
When I quit, a beer would send me back to smokes.
Good job.

I smoked ~20 a day for nearly 30 years. Then one day I decided I didn't like the taste so I stopped.
Be strong and, in a week or two, don't give in.

Cigaretts is like alcohol to me, there are where two reasons that I like them, and it wasnt the taste but rather the side effect

Indeed great for you. Remember even though you smoke a cigarette anytime down the line doesn't mean you again started it, continue it after that like you didn't smoke.

Stay with it man I know it's hard I smoked most of my teen/adult life and after 45 years of smoking you get out of breath tying your shoes. But I quit about 3-4 years ago and with extensive exercise I've gained some of my lung capacity back and I can do the things I want to do.
The problem with smoking is that you never lose the urge!
Good luck

Best of luck. The SO used to smoke and quit for me, I hated the smell/taste when I kissed her. She had a bit of a lapse recently because her dad passed, but that is understandable given the circumstances.
She would tell you that the craving never goes away and that she plans to have one as soon as I am in the ground. Plus she might have a cigar when we get married.
Her advice is take it a day at a time and have an important reason to quit.

Are there any other habits you think to quit?

I got an e-cigarette thing that you fill with liquid that it nebulises.
Got down to zero nicotine in no time, and with no stress.
Of course, they've been excluded from the US, because they're harmful to Philip Morris' profits.

e-cigs have been around for a while now, and growing in popularity.

Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

I got the same a few months ago. Unfortunately, after using it for nearly 6 months, I went back to smoking a pack a day (which is my usual). I guess I got tired trying different flavors that fits my tastebuds, and I was always seeking that high feeling that vaping was unable to provide. Another problem I'm having with it I think is that as I vape longer, there's this urge to make the PV produce more vapor, which results to more nicotine being inhaled in the lungs. It's good to hear though that vaping worked for you.

A bit similar here. The health department warns people on using e cigarettes because of the assumed harmful chemicals in it. But they're not even doing their research, which makes their claims bollocks. And yeah, at least here, I can assume that the government's actions against e cigarettes can be attributed to the taxes being paid by those tobacco companies.
Signature construction in progress. Sorry for the inconvenience.

GOOD FOR YOU!
I quit January 1, 1991, cold turkey from a pack-and-a-half a day habit. It's almost the smartest thing I've ever done.
(the smartest was when I started running a year later)

Just ignore him.
Do not respond to him, do not start new threads dedicated to him, do not even hint at his existence.

I could never do that sir! I will shoot the troll myself instead of ignoring him
