Okay this is how my kids and I broke my wife from her habit. We sat down and talked about all the things we wanted to do in our lives together and how important it was for her to quit smoking and get healthier. Lots of support was in order from family and friends and when she was ready she picked a date. Jan. 1st. So before Christmas we made an appointment with the Doc and got the pillz to curve the craving that she never took but it was there just in case. I bought a few months worth of the patch from the strongest to a weaker dosage and stuck them in her sock at Christmas. We got her some hand held video games like Yahtzee & Poker to keep her busy and plenty of straws to chew on. It wasn't easy but she did it and has been smoke free for over 10 years. So if you have a loving family or some really good friends ask them for help. You won't regret it that's for sure. A friend in need is a friend indeed. Good luck.
