A) Zyban (one a day in the morning) + nicotine lozenges for the first 11 weeks then just the Zyban
B) Never went more than 5 days cold turkey in my life (and that was after hypnotism!) so I knew I had to use nicotine products to kick start me.
(btw been smoking 40 years, average annual quit attempts = 2 per year, this is the 2nd longest quit ever and the last one was 9 months on nicorette gum)
Zyban

Sorry, Mr. Ed.
I forgot the second question. And I got my numbers wrong. I started cold turkey and was about to chew my arm off when a co-worker offered me the gum. I bought some and used it for a couple of days. But then I read that whyquit site where using an aid is evil, plus my jaw was sore, so I stopped the gum.
Obviously, there was no planning in my quit. :p

Just want to comment that the idea of the government providing support to people is such a magnificent concept, and therefore not available in Florida.

I used the patch for 10 weeks.
I thought about doing it cold turkey but decided that i wanted as much help as possible ;)

Using "aids" to help with your quit doesn't make you any less strong than someone who quits cold turkey.
We are all amazing - regardless of what method we choose :)
(Mr Ed.....it will be interesting to see the results of your survey when you have completed them ~ I look forward to it :))
