T'anks, guys. Yes, Perry, the ratio of Smoking Years to Non-Smoking Years is the big issue. With both parents smokers, I started smoking myself in order to stop myself eating whole packets of biscuits while I was nervously studying for Matric Modern History (and a fat lot of good that did me, too) -- so I still have two years to go before I even up the score.
On the other hand, I've now been a nonsmoker for exactly as many years as I was a nonsmoker before I took up smoking.
I think of myself as a 'recovering smoker', even after all this time. And I know that one, just one, would be enough ...

Applauds! Commendable willpower. I'm an abstainer in the nicotine department too, but it's hard work.
I lost Em's comment trying to fix a bit of this site that it somehow broke. Sorry Em! Yes, the cravings will go away eventually.
congratulations! That's so bloody excellent, and I'm impressed.
I hope I stay nicotine free that long.
