I tried cold turkey..did good Saturday and Sunday till Monday..I awoke at 5 am could not drink coffee cause that just invited a cigarette...so I went running..only it was VERY scary.

The moment I arrived at work I felt trapped (work was doing the quit smoking program) I knew I could not get a cigarette if I wanted to...and that was that...at lunchtime I ran to purchase a pack of cigs.

Bought the gum...never tried the patch...the prescription drug had more side effects than the drug to cure toenail fungi...

E-cigs WORKED! And I never felt I needed to run!
