Oh, I can tell you right now that the patch works. I've done it a couple of times with the help of the patch. Then, of course, I go to a bar, or a party, or (as in the last time) on vacation to Italy, and I start again.

Quitting is not nearly as hard as STAYING a non-smoker.

I'm alreay "down to a few cigs a day" (four or five), but that if four or five too many.

What can we do to encourage and support you in your effort to quit?

Does it require a prescription? If not, is there a brand that stands out from the rest? Any *better* sources of information? (Sorry for the multiple questions - I figure you probably researched this before)

Did for a little while in high school because it was "cool", but that lasted only a few months; now it's just a cigar every now and then.

Juan, you can do it. It'll get easier once your house gets done.

Juan- we'll help out with the effort to quit, bro. I've been w/o a smoke for a few weeks now, and although I wasn't a regular smoker, I know how it is to deny yourself something.

Surround yourself with people who care about you, tell them your plans to quit, and they'll help you along. Finding a hobby or something to keep you occupied (moderating X5 World in a smoke-free new house) and burn time, not Red Kamels!

We have a Juan quit smoking reward going. Juan it's still on the table. If you are smoke free by June and we will need your CEO's help and confirm, I will again pay out of my pocket any mod that you want to do on the X that is under $500.

that should be a pretty good encouragement!!

been clean for 4 years and counting....
