I've tried the gum, it works well but all you're doing is transferring your addiction to something else. I could never permanently quit that way. You want to get the nicotine out of your body completely, which takes like 72 hours I believe. The patch, well, tried that too, I put it on and was smoking again within 45 minutes...I think the key with that is to stay COMPLETELY busy to the point of not thinking about it at all. I plan on trying again within a month or so, gonna try that smokeaway stuff, I've had great luck with herbal stuff in the past (insomnia and other issues). Or just suck it up and quit cold turkey....but don't let any know-it-all bastard fuck tell you "it's all in you head" because it's not...nicotine's seriously fucking gnarly shit...it affects you just as much physically as it does mentally...but you really do have to be in the right state of mind to quit.
