OT: How to stop smoking

1 year 2months and 25 days. Was up to 2 packs daily. Had stopped for three years and picked them up again it got worse.  I tried chantix twice at 400.00 and like woo pointed out, I experienced negative effects. So I picked a day (my birthday 2007) and that was it.  I threw on a patch and worked for the first two weeks Nicoderm CD clear.  Also I had chew sticks(u can get them from organic store or Islamic markets).  I must say this time quitting I gained weight verses before the taste was lifted, this time I have to work.  Hope that helps
