It's time for me to stop

Dan V.

I've been smoking a pack a day for the last 9 years. I've never tried quitting before, but my new girlfriend hates the smell of cigarettes. I want to quit for her, but know it's good for my health too. Should I try the patch? What's the best way for me to quit cold turkey ASAP?

    The most important thing is to remember not to give up. Especially since you've never tried quitting before, don't give up even if you smoke a couple here and there at first. That is normal, and you shouldn't let yourself feel too defeated if you fail many times before suceeding. Many of us do, so just keep on trooping through and try again. There's not gonna be any one best option, and no mircale cure for going cold turkey. You have to be patient with yourself, and hopefully your girlfriend will be too. The nicotine gum worked really well for me, but I've also heard good things about the patch as well. Best of luck!
