Your mileage may vary, but there is no gum or patch that can help you quit. Its hard as HELL.
The only thing you can do that works 80% of the time every time is stopping all your trigger behaviors.
There are dozens, maybe hundreds. Mine were weed and bars. If I would smoke weed, bam, had to
have a cigarette. If I was in a bar, I had to smoke. Gave up both and voila, no smoking. I can have
as many drinks as I want at home with NO TROUBLE. But no bars.

OTHER PEOPLE will tell you how to do it, that you need to give it up for this or that, my father died of
cancer, was quite a smoker. Looked like a shriveled up lil mummy in that hospital bed...my mother thought
that should be all it took, to have seen THAT. She had no idea and I think still doesn't, that you can't buy me a
Plen-T-pack of Spearmint gum and I will just reach for that instead. You have to divest yourself of all the trigger
mechanisms. If you do THAT, you should only have 3-7 days of tough sledding. Your BODY will suffer for three days,
your mind for almost a week. With alcohol you can almost go back to triggers after a year or two if you have self-
discipline of any kind. But you have to be careful as 5hi+. But it can be done if you don't put your brain under that
kind of pressure.
