I smoke now but I am thinking about not allowing smoking when I get my new car, sounded to me like a good way to stop the bad habbit. Not to mention the money I will save
I tried the gum before:
-it tastes terrible!!
I tried the patch too:
-didn't stop me from smoking but I noticed that it helped me cut down quite a bit

Also should note the side effect, you have some really odd dreams when you are on the patch. ( not sure if the side effect is good or bad yet )
