I've tried quitting several times cold turkey with the patch and gum - and have failed - and am not ready to resort to prescription meds YET. I've done some online research and think I'm going to try the product Linkman - it supposed to gradually wean you off cigarettes - maybe not quitting cold turkey will work for me. http://www.healthcentral.com/copd/c/476835/63743/gradually
