Hi MissKris
I used the patch a couple of times The last time Was in april 05 and I have not smoked since then. For me it made a world of difference. you must understand though that you have to really want to quit for any method to work. I was able to quit without crying or yelling or wanting to kill somebody. That was the major difference. I also followed the program all the way through. There are support web sites that were most helpful to me, go there and read, read, read, before you set your date to stop. My sister quit for 2 years and used the patch to help her. I did not have a problem when it came time to go it alone without the patch because a lot of my habits were broken and I had learned to overcome a lot of my triggers. I say try them you have nothing to lose but maybe a bad habit and some cash but you are already throwing money away anyhow. I did for years. I hope I never ever pick up a cig again. But I a have to stay on guard because I believe once an addict always an addict. I wish you the very best with whatever you choose to do. May talk to your Doctor and get some advice. Take care! sincerely~MargoP
