First off, LLC, there's something wrong when a 17-year-old is on the patch for chrissakes! Good for you, but still that's weird... how long could you have possibly smoked to be so addicted?? I didn't even start 'til I was 17! lol

Of course, I've been smoking longer than you've been breathing, plus incubating, plus another few years. I tell you (all) -- while OF COURSE there is a HUGE physical dependence -- it's also hugely behavioral.

I need to quit, I know that. And HUGE congrats to those here who have and who are trying to quit! You are saving your own precious lives, and not just for you, but also for your loved ones.

Me, I'm weak. Plain and simple. The gum does work, though, for cravings... I just need to set my mind straight.
