My husband has been after me to quit smoking, and I agree but it it’s difficult.
Recently, I have had to have therapy for my back and legs, Static Nerves, and it has helped tremendously, I can walk again. My exercise is still limited, however they do have this wonderful low impact machine, that works all over arms, back and legs that they, at the Rehabilitation hospital, offered to me for a fraction of the cost, $1,500.00 If I had it at home I would be able to do small sets several times a day, as apposed to just 10 minutes just three times a week.
My husband manages the finances, and I must admit we are on a pretty fixed budget; not smoking would save about 50.00 per. Month.
It would be very difficult for me to quit just like that cold, I would be able to afford the patch, which I’ve thought about; I would just have to do it! What do you think..
Should I ask ask him and take their offer?

Sorry, I just caught a misspelled word, (sciatica) the sciatic nerves extending from the lumbar section of the spine.

Not to make jest of your ailmemt but it's easy to quit.
I've quit a hundred times in 50 years.
Believe me, I know the difficulty to quit. Non-smokers have no idea. I've known cases where the patch helped, but read their phamplets. It emphasises will-power and support.
Take the offer. You might just feel that you can't fail, OR else carry your guilt if you fail. The only time I quit was for 4 years, for my late wife. After that, here I am. Good luck!

I know many people who quit and of course it sucked for them, dying for a cigarette. But you hold through until that urge gets weaker and weaker. Then within a few months the urge comes back and you just fight it and then you never have them again. Otto Von Bismark use to smoke cigars, then during war he had one left so he saved it because he didn't know when he would get a chance to get another one. After 2 weeks and with plenty of cigars around he was about to light it up but then figured if he could go 2 weeks without one, he could stop all together.

Maybe your husband is after you to quit because he loves you so much he doesn't want to see you get sick or die as a direct result of smoking cigarettes. Did you know that a third of all regular smokers die as a direct result of their habit? And if you are curious, give your local fire department a call about how many house fires are caused by smoking. Most smokers say, "It's nobody's business but my own," but maybe the widows and widowers don't feel that way when they sit at their spouse's funeral.
