Many people follow doctors suggestions and end up with one bad habit replaced with another.. gum, patches, e-cigs, etc...
Best advice many gave me... just quit cold turkey and stick to it. It worked. I think it also depends on you... when you are really tired of the habit and want to quit.

I hope you have quit smoking by now but if you have not, please so immediately. Of course the best way to quit is to do it cold turkey, but if you cannot, it is far better to use quit smoking aids then not doing it at all. I finally quit after trying everything from smoke ender back in the 80s to hypnotism to the patches. I finally tried Chantix and I have not had or even wanted a cigarette in 9 years. Yes, I know that it is believed that some young people have wanted to or did commit suicide due to Chantix, but I started taking it before this was known. I never did feel like committing suicide while on Chantix but I often did when I quit with other methods. The main thing to remember when using aid to quit smoking is to use one which has a time limit for you to stop using the aid, but which time you have stopped smoking for 3-12 weeks.

I'm trying to quit also- I've found that just not carrying cigarettes or lighters on me really helps limit how much I smoke and also avoiding hanging around with people who smoke as it really sets off my cravings. Limiting how much you smoke and cutting down is a great idea and what I've been doing- I've gone from smoking 10 a day to 3-4 and sometimes 0-1 so quitting this way has been working for me and might work for you too :) Edit: Nicotine gum didn't work for me, it actually made me feel really ill, e-cigarettes/shisha cigarettes work a little but don't erase the psychological need to smoke so as soon as I ran out I was right back on the cigarettes.

The *best* way is to JUST STOP .... and *never* permit yourself to do it again.
If you do not have the stones to get the job done,
then go to your Doctor .... Assistance is a crutch that does not hurt.
