I found patches didnt work for me and without nicotine replacement I ate waaaay too much. Found the gum the best for me, havent touched a cigarette in like 10 years but still need the gum! Suppose it's less bad 
Different strokes for different folks but for me the gum helped most |

"Genuinely think cold Turkey is the best way...just stop....if one of ye stops and the other doesnt it makes it very hard for the person who's stopped "
Totally agree. Cold turkey and willpower
I stopped Feb last year after 30+ years of smoking and haven't wavered. I was ready to pack in, I think you need to convince yourself you want to
Good luck with it  |

Thanks that’s how it’s all started we both looked at the amount of buts that we were throwing in the bin now I probably will have to go cold turkey was kind of thinking cut down slowly but it honestly isn’t fair on her even if it is two or three a day |

You're honestly making it harder for yourself too. Maybe consider a vape as a crutch for a bit? |

Think of the health benefits too , I can tell you I'm on a bit of treatment now and cancer is very much every age and our health system only deals with treatment not prevention |

I found the patches excellent but you must stick to the recommended course, mine was for 12 weeks, 9 years off them now, smoked for over 40 years, never looked back. Pharmacist should be able to recommend what strength of patch to start with |

Sadly if you have been a smoker or even passive smoker the damage is done and might still catch up with you years after you pack in
I can't say I feel any healthier for giving up, it really made no difference, except to my pocket |

"Hey all we decide to give the cigarettes the kick Lisa is off them now a month and I’m down to four a day with the odd vape anyone any tips finding it though at the moment "
It's and individual thing, I gave them up in 2005 , I cut down first then just stopped when I was down to one a day due to a fitness challenge presented to by a friend. It went well up death of my mother back on them for about two weeks then went to the pool and couldn't even swim after about 40 a day due to the grief.
Went to the doctor got patches and stopped again, I found the quit line very helpful they sent me a starter pack with very useful information. This got me stopped and healthier at the same time because it's a hand to mouth action the pamphlets said eat fruit and nuts and so I did to feed that hand, month action. Still stopped today 17 years later after a few minor relapses but that's okay and is all part of the ongoing long process of staying stopped. I had to make sacrifices of courses for a good few years. |

I found the Nicorette quickmist helpful but, and not to sound trite, making a firm decision to quit was what ultimately worked for me.
I'd tried before and "wanted" to quit but I never made a firm, really-mean-it decision.
For me, it came when I was sneaking around a meditation centre trying to smoke a cigarette at night and I just asked myself what I was doing.
If you can do some soul searching and try to really come to a firm, really-really-mean-it decision that quitting smoking is best for you.
