I too quit cold turkey... twice... well successfully twice with a couple year lapse. Quit maybe 17-18 years ago... oh that must age me... lol.

I quit so that my last cig was Friday nite before I went to bed (so I could get a start over the weekend of working through a little of the crabbiness) and I washed all ashtrays and put them away. I used toothpicks or straws... Straws did not look too keen but worked.

Did not do meds way back then...not sure if I would want to go that route but never know.

Good luck.
