I quit 12 years ago after saying to myself that I would NOT pay $4.16 for a stinking pack of cigarettes. You have to quit cold turkey and go without. After two weeks you will be fine but I can tell you the urge to smoke will never leave. All someone has to do is mention cigarettes and my mouth will water. It takes will power and you can never have one again......ever..........not even if you are a good boy......understand????? All it takes is one and you will be back on them. Sorry if that sounds harsh but Cigs are a drug and you have to break yourself from them..... using patches and other crutches just makes someone else money instead of the cigarette companies. All using patches does is make it harder to get over the nicotine fix. Edited August 27, 2012 by Artimus Prime Ruggerxi, billyblade and Damage_inc- 3 Awards

Like Arti said you will always have that little voice in your head telling you that you want a cig every now and then. DO NOT HAVE EVEN 1 DRAG or you will be done. Good luck Damage_inc- 1 Awards
