AHHH! I quit 7 months ago and I am so happy, but you need to drive inside you. Every state should have a government funded quitline from a tobacco settlement in the 90's. Look for it, they send free patches and gum. PS I would've never done it without the patches I was a wreck.

The only way to quit, is to stop..Throw away the ones you have now and wait for the cold turkey..You can do it..I did years ago and Im glad I did..otherwise they would have been burying me...with the coffin nails. Patches, and all the other crutches they sell, just keep enabling a person, then they never quit..Smoking is only a waste of money, health, and time. Spend the time not thinking about smoking, and do something with your family and friends to keep your mind off of it..Make sure your not around those who smoke. I wish you all the luck in the world to stop..and prayers.

Sorry, but the only way to do it is for you to decide that it is time for you to stop. Things like gum, patches, herbal cigarettes are ways to make it easier on you but if YOU don't want it you won't be effective at quitting.

I went cold turkey because I didn't want anything that would ease me off and keep stuff in my system. Make up your mind that you don't want to be a prisoner to cigarettes. That IS what you are. They rule your life and ruin your life. Take things one day at a time! Vow to get through a day. Believe me, you can do it and you will be SO glad you did.

Add a lot of exercise to your day. Go for a walk when you would have a smoke.

well i am on the patch right now and i am telling you its hard. its my first day but i think the gum is a better choice.. you are doing something with your mouth and you can feel the release of the nicotine.
with the patch i cant and i am still needing a cigarette like crazy.
try the gum and tell me what you think!
