Answers:
Ok. You have some fun times ahead of you. I know NOTHING of the patches but do have experience in the "natural" way.

It will be hard. First off. Do you REALLY WANT to stop smoking? Do you say I "need" to or do you say I REALLY WANT to????? Therein lies the basic answer to you quiting.

Smoking is not just a nicotine habit. You also have a habit of having something in your hand and in your mouth. You have a habit of reaching into your shirt pocket for a cigarettete pack. Then you have a NICOTINE habit. Chew gum. That will keep your mouth busy. Keep a tooth pick or pencil in your hands and/or mouth. That will keep you hands and mouth busy. Put the chewing gum pack in your shirt pocket. The worst times will be after eating. The best times will be when you wake up and don't have to cough for 10 minutes. The first two weeks will be hardest. From that point on.....it will SLOWLY become easier. Be prepared. It took 5 years for me not to even think about a cigaret when I seen someone else smoking. But each day was easier. Smokes STINK, STINK, STINK along with the people who smoke them. Did you know that? Good Luck. You CAN do it and NEED to do it. Food will taste better than it has in your entire life. Just watch and take it easy on the food. Pops
welll, put it this way, patches are cheaper than cigarettes, and they do work (got one on now)
