There are so many methods out there today. It most definately would be hard to choose one that would be the best. First of all it is a mental obstacale. You really have to mentally ready to quit smoking. Once you've reached that mindset then you can begin your journey of quitting. It's a hard process. Some can do it cold turkey...by you really have to be ready. I have a friend now that is on week 2 of the patch, which for him is working. But he's tried the pill and it had a negative effect on him. I've had friends do nicorette gum and they got addicted for 20 years...so I would not advise that. Anyone wanting to quit really needs to test the waters...see what works for them. But definately start with the patch first, good luck! Hope that this was of some help to you!!!

yeah I've tried a few ways already. I have stopped for 2 month before, and then something will bring me back like a night of drinking. I have even stopped drinking to save cash it was easy. I guess really its will power. Thanks for all the information.

I tried the patch and the gum and the best way I found to quit smoking that is working for me is to quit cold turkey, but everybody is not the same and you will probably try several times before it actually works, but don't give up.

I think most of it will depend on how strong your willpower is. Some people have been able to quit cold turkey - although that seems to be rare these days. Lots of people turn to the patches or gum or the new lozenges out these days. And then I have heard that there is also a new medication called Zyban that people have used too!! Most of it will all depend on how bad you want to quit as well as what kind of support you have and whether you have to deal with other smokers daily while you are trying to quit!!!
