Congrats!
Personally I think the success or lack of success in quitting is 95% mental! Once you make up your mind that you truly want to quit you can, despite the physical addiction to the nicotine and other crap that they put in cigarettes. So once YOU (whomever it is) says "I don't want/need this anymore" and stop making excuses for wanting/needing a cigarette, you've won the battle.
Now I've got to stop making those same excuses!
