Surgery rescheduled for Dec 15th

I have to quit smoking, anyone here trying to quit smoking or recently quit smoking? I ordered some patches and pray they will help. Cold turkey just didnt work for me As long as I have quit for 3 weeks prior to surgery date Dr Wellborn will do it on Dec 15th!!! Im even more desperate to kick this ugly habit than I was when he first told me I would have to quit smoking for the surgery.
