Save your money, the best way to quit is cold turkey, I did after 58 years of smoking a lot more than 20 a day more like 2 to 3 packs a day. After 3 days all nicotine is out of your system. I have never felt better in my life. Don't wait till the 31st of Jan, do it now throw those cigarettes away. When you feel a need for a cigarette say a little prayer by the time you finish the Prayer the urge is gone. Good Luck I will keep you in my Prayers and I hope you will as much succses as I did.

I hope you have started the patches. I just joined yesterday but here's my input: My doc started me with the 21mg. I think that is the highest.
Don't worry about how long you've smoked, I find that it brings me down. Just think in increments of time you would smoke, each 15 or 30 min you don't smoke is a success.
I used to get angry and say I didn't take anything to start smoking why should I have to take something to stop? Well I had a rough time going about it that way.
You can do it when you are truly ready and true to yourself.
Good Luck, I have 2 hours for my first 24hour no smoke time.
