Smoking while using the patch put my uncle's ex-wife in the hospital. Be careful with that. By the way, although I know someone who used nicotine gum and quit (he claims, but started again after 6 weeks) , success rates are better for people going cold turkey.

http://www.whyquit.com/ Here's a site with a lot of information from people who have successfully quit.

I know it's the wrong way to do it, but I find it helps. I used step 1 of the patch and cut them in half. In another few days, I will use 1/3 of a patch then 1/4 then nothing.

I find I still get cravings, but I can cope with them better.

That site is great btw.

Thanks
