The patch works for some people. It doesn't work for everyone. You might try a nicotine inhaler which will also give you the oral fixation that comes from smoking. You might do what I did to cut down on smoking and only buy roll your own cigarettes. They're cheaper, they have no additives and you will smoke a lot less. I am at the point now where I only smoke because I like to and I enjoy the ritual of rolling my cigs, not because I am addicted. I used to smoke a pack a day of machine made smokes. Now I smoke maybe four hand rolled a day and I never cough or feel poorly.

I've never smoked before, but I know what it is like to really want to do something and keep yourself from doing it. I did it to lose weight and eat healthier. It was so difficult not to get food and eat it. The problem is you are battling with yourself, against something that you Desire. You have to Over come yourself. You will feel horrible like you are a massive failure if you give in, and you'll feel so proud when you don't do it. There is no point to smoking except that i know it makes you feel good. But you have to set yourself in a Mental state where you would never want to smoke, and never be one that would smoke. In order to do that you may have to write down on a piece of paper "i will not smoke ever again" a few times. or say it out loud when you wake up in the morning. It has to become a ritual in life. you have to Break your current pattern, which is the hardest step, but the biggest.

Go to a cancer unit at a hospital and see the cancer pts in there 30's and 40's with no hair, holes in their chest big enough to stick your hand into and tracheostomy tubes. Round on an Oncology unit with an oncology doctor. This aughta cure ya!

It takes a replacement of an old habit to get rid of it. When you feel like having a smoke, replace it with something positive. Learn to crochet and pick up the hook and work some granny-squares. It would take you as long to make one granny square as it would take to smoke a cigarette. Or...put a straw in your mouth and suck on it. Anything to replace the habit of picking up that cig. Just make sure it's a positive one. Good luck.

Wellbutrin helps alot of people quit smoking. Lots of perscription plans won't cover it for that diagnosis, so if you are feeling "depressed" ask for it for that reason. Or, I think they make a generic now, and you could afford it that way.

Ever tried looking at pictures of 25-30 year olds who die of cancer from smoking? Motivational to say the least.
