I can happily say this

My husband and I quit in February and neither of us has had a cigarette since!
He used the patch and I did it cold turkey. I have to say, aids like the patch, gum, etc. only REALLY work if you want to seriously quit.
I honestly wouldn't have quit when I did, but Mark decided he wanted to, so I did it to help him. But now I'm glad I did and we are both smoke free

Good Luck, I know you can do it!!!
