It worked for you! I'm happy for you!! Why is a PILL any different than any other way people quit smoking cigarettes? Cig's have tar and other scary things mixed into it. They compare cigarette smoking to smoking heroin, it's just as addicting.

My mother quit 25 yrs ago, her Doctor looked at her lungs before she quit and they told her it was bad. After 6 months of quitting (the patch) her lungs improved 40% that's huge in 6 months. Now can you tell me that the patch is bad idea because she didn't "quit the nicotine?".... No she quit Smoking, period!

I'm happy to hear you are smoke free and your health is improving!

I just got back and read past posts a little.
Thought I would say a few things, Take them or leave them.

I have to say I admire anyone who has even given quitting an attempt.
As for what works and does not work is tottally a personal joureny as well.

No person should judge another based on how they quit or what they do to do so.

I took 2 or three times as long as most do to finally quit.
But for me, it was the only way.
I used many methods together. As you can read in previous posts.
And if drugs would have been an option for me, probably would have done those as well.


The point behind quitting is be true to you.
Do what you need to stop.
And find people who support you in doing that.

I am telling you this,
I am standing behind you and anyone wanting to stop.

And am truely thankful to you for adding this thread/post.

Keep up the great work and if I can help at all let me know.
