My method to successfully quit smoking is the electronic cigarette.
I firmly believe that it is the best method in existence. It is beyond question the most successful method in existence, and there is much research underway as we speak that will clearly show that. Many people who have tried to quit dozens of times using many of the other methods mentioned here, only to eventually relapse to smoking again, feel that electronic cigarettes are truly a miracle.
If anyone tells you that electronic cigarettes are dangerous, or that we dont know what is in them, or that the FDA said they contain toxins, carcinogens, or anti-freeze, please read the following:

Now that we have dispensed with that bit of nonsense
How to quit smoking using an electronic cigarette
The first step is to buy a good product for a good price. That means to avoid almost everything that is widely advertised or comes up in a Google search. Such products are marketed by companies who often sell poor performing products at outrageous prices. It is also very unlikely to find a quality product at a reasonable price in a mall, at a liquor store, or in a tobacco shop. Far too many people were introduced to the electronic cigarette through one of the outlets mentioned above, only to come to the conclusion that the products do not work very well, and will not work for them.
For the lucky ones that see the potential, and decide to do some research in order to find out if there is a better product, it does not take long to find out that there most certainly is. In fact, there is an entire world of better products that most people have no idea exists.
Now for the most important thing I can say to anyone reading this
It is essential that anyone using an electronic cigarette find a good, independent electronic cigarette forum for guidance on finding a quality product at a reasonable price.
Not only will you need a good product, at a reasonable price, but you will need to find out the kind of electronic cigarette you need for
your particular situation. And you will need to learn how to properly use an electronic cigarette, because there is a bit of a learning curve. The only way to do these things is to interact with those who have come before you and have experience. And unless you know someone who has successfully used an electronic cigarette to quit smoking, your ONLY option for finding such help is an electronic cigarette forum. And as a bonus, there are some excellent electronic cigarette forums that are full of wonderful, helpful people who also serve as a fantastic support group. And a support group can be helpful too, although quitting smoking using electronic cigarettes can be so easy that you may not need any support at all.
As for HOW you quit smoking using an electronic cigarette, I can not tell you that. And really, that is part of the wonder of electronic cigarettes. They let you quit smoking your way, on your own timeframe, in a way that is most comfortable for you.
Once you're off the cigarettes, you have accomplished the most important goal, which is to stop inhaling smoke from burning tobacco. That part can be accomplished very quickly, and to be honest, almost painlessly. After that, you can simply step down on the nicotine content over time, until you reach zero.
