I've tried cold turkey and it just doesn't work for me, so this time I figured I'd try something different. I figure I'm spending less on the patch then I did on cigs so why not try it. So far it seems to be working better than cold turkey for me.

There is a new pill out that will trigger something in your head that makes the cigarettes taste like shit. My boss tried this and it worked for him. I am not sure the name of it but you may want to check with a doctor if you need help quitting.

It's called Chantix, and it doesn't make the cigarettes taste bad. It makes your brain not process the nicotine so you don't need it. You start taking the pills before you quit, pick a start date (when you get up to full dosage) and then quit. You can really keep smoking, but why? You really don't have the urge.

It's what I used & works great but it's expensive & my insurance wouldn't pay for it. After 2 months, I've stopped taking the pills so we'll see how it goes, but I really don't want to ever smoke again.

cool, glad it worked for you, I never used anything so I was just going off of what the one person I know who has used this pill (chantix) had told me, he described being sick when he smoked, I think it has been 8-10 months since he tried this pill and he hasn't smoked since, this guy is 40 something and tried for many years to quit, I think you are through, glad there is something out there for people who need an aide
