I quit for 8 years then due to some stress and evidently the urge to have a smoke, I started again about 3 yrs ago, I have quit again just over a month ago for the second time in my life.Its all or nothing, thats my motto.
Try it! Instead of any drugs,.. try more veggies and fruits or walking or jogging or swimming or something,.... anything to change your lifestyle so you do not want or need a smoke... Oh well, just some insight from a quitter

GOOD LUCK ... YOU CAN DO IT IF I DID!!!!!!!!

I used the patch. If the stop smoking aids are available and they increase your chance to quit, I say use them!

Congrats on quitting with CT... but everyone is different and should make their own decision on how to quit.

Very true, It just seems to me that if you are trying to quit smoking, and you use things like the patch/gum you are still giving yourself the nicotine, in smaller doses, So to me it would make it more difficult to quit if I was still getting little doses of nicotine as to none. Does that make any sense at all???..lol....
