WANT TO QUIT NOW!!!!

I quit due to a health scare about 6 months ago and went back when all ended up fine.  What a stupid mistake.  Thought I could have just one.  NO SUCH LUCK.  I just went to my cardiologist and he said i have slight pericardial effusion which is some fluid around my heart....it was found during a CT scan on my lungs that he sent me for because I smoke.  now I am scheduled for a stress test and an echocardiogram.  I am very nervous but I wonder what is wrong with me that I continue to smoke?  I have to stop NOW.  Any help or advice from those who quit cold turkey????
