   You know. I think I would find me another MD. What an As*. I understand the health problems associated with smoking. I smoke myself. But I will not have someone threaten me in that manner. I would sue the As&. But for the patch. Some people have a great success with them Some don’t. You will just have to try and see. They did not work for me. Chantix did not work for me either and Welbutrin made me feel like I wan on crack.

   Hi Terri ..
   yes the patch works for many people.. it seems its “different strokes for different folks”… there is really no wrong way to quit..good luck!!
   the one thing that appears to be a constant, is that people can improve their chances of quitting. using a support group.. I attend nicotine anonymous meetings, both locally, and online.. online voice meetings are as close as your computer.. while quitting is seldom easy, it is doable with help.. once again good luck, and congrats on your decision its a biggie..

   I smoked for 12 years and used the Commit lozenges for the first couple weeks. They don’t taste too good but it gives you that whole “oral fixation” when your craving a cigarette. After a couple weeks I didn’t need them anymore and I was fine. I would try those. Just pop on in when you want a cig. I found it really did take the edge off. (nothing gets rid of the desire completely- that’s where willpower comes in) Good luck!!!!
