Former smoker craving a cigarette - BecomeAnEx.org

That may be true for you, but not for everyone. I smoked 1+ packs/day for nearly 10 years. Tried quitting several times and failed. Quit for good over 4 years ago using patches. The one thing you have to have is the drive to do it and the strength to not give up a few days/weeks in.

none of the niquitin or any patch bollocks work, the only way is COLD TURKEY!! might be hard but more rewarding when u do it! niquitin and all the other patches keep the nicotine monster inside you, get rid altogether!!!! COLD TURKEY the way forward

Not even close to being effective. Patches, gums, pills, etc. don't work because they don't treat an addiction to "smoking", they only treat an addiction to nicotine which is one of the least dangerous chemicals in cigarettes. Benzene, formaldehyde, ammonia, and acetone are far more dangerous. Electonic Cigarettes have a 70% quit ratio as apposed to a 7-12% quit ratio with patches & gums. They let people continue their hard-to-break habbit without all of the deadly consequences.

@firefox335 I was referring to the commercial as being effective in getting the point across of what goes through smokers' minds while they're hooked. And while I appreciate the statistics you provided - I'd like to see the source of them, actually, so I can refer to it as I share them with others - it's important to state that patches worked for me.

I smoked 1-2 packs a day for nearly 10 years, and after several failed attempts trying wellbutrin (sp?), cold turkey, and the rhythm method - j/k - I was successful using patches. I haven't touched a cigarrette in over 3 years, nor do I ever plan to again. Quitting smoking was the single best decision I've ever made for myself.
