I am on my second attempt. Smoked for 14 years. Today is my first day without a cigarrette. I woke up and slapped a patch on after my shower and have been chewing gum all morning. Can anyone give me advice on how to deal with the cravings or any other advice?

What I don't get is how anyone could start smoking in the first place. When you take that first puff it's not like oh yeah that tastes great.
My suggestion is to just remember that those of us that don't smoke (I used to) can smell it on you. You smell like an ash tray. Also think about how much it has shortened your life already.

I enrolled, some years ago, in a quit smoking program and classes. They were very effective. They highly recommended the patch and gum. Also, one thought I've kept with me is: The craving for a smoke will pass, whether you smoke or not. This is so true! I think our mind has to think about something else, and if you will notice, the craving will have passed. It is going to come back, of course, but try to think, this too shall pass. Merry Christmas and Good Luck!

smoking patches aren not good for you. They increase your chance of stroke by like 100%
