Thanks for your response. I have tried hypnosis, acupuncture, etc. I have had the most luck with patches. But right now, my biggest concern is my husband. Every day it seems as if I am just watching him waste away into nothing but skin and bones. It is so hard to watch. We have a doctors appt on thursday and I am hoping there is someting that can be done for him. He weighs less than 90 pounds and is not eating because he just throws it back up. Now is not a good time for me to concentrate on quitting. Sure, that sounds like an excuse and it is, but I just can't do it right now.

Try Chantix. It really does work - tells the receptors in your brain that you already have nicotine in your system, so your impetus for reaching for that smoke diminishes. Doesn't happen overnight, and you don't go cold turkey on day 1, but, from experience, it DOES work. I've heard that you can no longer get a scrip for Chantix, but I'll bet you can! Worked for me when nothing else did.
