I used spite, self discipline and being angry at everything, including the tobacco manufacturers and the government raising taxes on it.
I quit cold turkey. I was alone for a few days, just sat at home being all huffy and puffy and then I got over myself.
I think the self discipline is the most important one. Just get a hold of yourself and do it, stop being a wuss about it.

Seconding spite. A tremendous amount of self loathing and self-flagellation helps too. Cold turkey is the most effective, least expensive, and quickest method. It isn't easy and is by far the hardest method, though. Haven't smoked in 23 years as of last week.
