This time around did cold turkey, it was hell first few days but with the help of sunflower seeds and a ton of green tea, I'm doing well without many cravings. It's been 2 weeks now and things seem okay, but the first 3 days were the worse. My wife kept telling me that I looked like I was going to snap (I was) and irritated was an understatement

72 hours the nicotine is gone from your system. challenge yourself go cold turkey, the other methods (at least for me) were like torture. challenge yourself is the way I looked at it and it helped

good luck

Agreed
Stepping down is bullshit
Smokers are in perpetual withdraw cause nicotine has a 30 min to 2 hour half life. Stepping down just makes that worse. Nicotine replacement gimmicks just make it worse. They have a 95% failure rate. That is why the government is okay with them.

E-cigs deliver nicotine without combustion, tar, carcinogens
If you really do some homework you'll find the FDA to be in bed with big tobacco and LYING out of their assholes

I'm still addicted to nic, but I found a much much safer delivery vehicle. The e-cig. I feel like a new man!

If anyone really wants to understand smoking http://whyquit.com is the place to go. Some people talk shit about him but he has real truth for smokers
