zeke_hubrisI also have a feeling that one of my regular half assed attempts at giving up the fags may be about to happen. If it does and you see me out and about with a cigarette in my hand please feel free to point out that I'm supposed to have quit. Just don't be offended when I turn around to face you with a feral gleam in my eye and scream "Fuck off! I need this to stay alive!" :-)

Good luck, although I have been told using the patches and gum is a waste of time. As one person said the only way they work is if you roll them up and smoke them.

As for the best way to quit, I truly believe that there is only one effective technique (For me anyway). That is to give up the fags completely and rely on willpower to get through it.

In the same vein, we used to tell newbies in the laboratory that people who drink out of laboratory glassware usually die. Some of them still don't get that one.
