Geoff, after numerous attempts, I finally quit six years ago. I got the patch from NYS. They sent me some interesting statistics. If you can go two weeks without smoking, you have a much better chance at quitting for good. So, you've made it so far! You have increased your chances, so pat yourself on the back! Feel free to text or call me if you need a friend to get you over a bump in the road.

And don't worry about the Nicorette. You will eventually be able to cut down on that.

Good luck! Your heart and lungs will thank you.
