I am a fourth generation smoker, I have successfully quit but I still consider myself a smoker because I still have the cravings but refuse to pick up another cigarette. These tips and tricks are some of those that I personally have used and still use and the ones that my dad had used.

I smoked for over ten years starting at a young age and my dad quit after smoking for forty-one years. Quitting smoking can be done if you have enough will power.

There is nothing wrong with asking for help no matter how big or small it is. My dad quit smoking cold turkey and I don't recommend this, I tried it and felt nervous and anxious all the time. After trying it cold turkey, I then tried a method of different ways including the stop smoking patch.

The patch kind of worked. It says on the package to not smoke while on the patch but like a smoker, I had to have a cigarette. The patch did help me to lower my cigarette intake though. I went from two packs a day down to ten cigarettes a day.

My conclusion on these stop smoking products is that they can actually help you to lower your cigarette intake but they may not help you quit smoking completely and can be expensive but not as expensive as cigarettes can be.
