I agree. I went cold turkey and am on Day 60. I feel great, I've stopped coughing, I can breathe deeply, and best of all, I can sing again! I was a pack-a-day smoker for 50 years, so if I can do it, so can you.
But you have to want to. I retired and just couldn't afford it any more on Social Security, so I made up my mind that I had to. Gum and patches just prolong the agony by keeping nicotine in your system - and they are as expensive as a carton of cigarettes!
Nobody said this was easy. But so many others have done it that I had confidence that I could as well. If you have the determination, join the pack (oops! Wrong word!) er, join the crowd and kick the habit!

Get a copy of this book: "The Easy Way to Stop Smoking" by Allen Carr.

just quit..cold turkey.. if you really really want to stop then you will.. the patches all of that stuff is soo expenisve...try doin somethigne lse too.. like when you get a craving.. try instead of smoking put a candy in your mouth or try chewing gum...
and think of all the people in your family that live with you that are being infected...it will change your view on everything... the last thing you want is to give your child cancer from second hand and he never smoked a cigarette in his life
good luck to you...!! and
YOU CAN DO IT!!

A friend of mine went for laser treatment and it seems to be effective. You can also go to the doctor ask for Nicotin Patch prescription, some people find it better than gum.

Just decide... I did, after 25+ years of never less than one and never more than 4 packs a day. Pathes and gum and other are just toys, substitutes that keep your mind dependent on something. Reky on yourself only & be stubborn, it works.
