How long should I wait ?

I waited several months. The first few months I was using the patch to step down slowly. Once I stopped using the patch, I waited at least another month without any nicotine at all before smoking a cigar.

In my opinion, if you smoke cigars to fight your cigarette cravings, I'm afraid you will just end up replacing one with the other.

Also, I know people say that quitting was the hardest thing they have ever done, but don't be discouraged! The reason it's so hard is not necessarily because it's painful. but because, it's so easy to cheat.
