I smoked 2 packs a day for 26 years. Marlboro, Winston, and last brand, Camel. Occasionally cigars too. lol I quit 15 years ago for three years. I started back and smoked for three more years and finally quit for good. I became asthmatic at that point so I had to stop. I think that was a blessing in disguise. I used the patches to quit and I just told myself that I wasn't going to remove the patch for any reason and if I tried to smoke with the patch, I would become deathly ill. Whether or not that was true, I made myself believe it and it worked. I don't condemn anyone for smoking. I'm a strong believer in "to each his own". I also believe smokers have a real rough way to go. You're almost treated like lepers anymore if you smoke. After all these years I still crave cigarettes and I usually love the smell of a cig burning. Good luck if you want to quit. Just be sure you're ready to do it or you'll find yourself fighting it all the way.

p.s. A little tip I used; patches are so expensive so I cut them in half and they went alot further
