the e-cig is a good option when you're quitting. you get the oral satisfaction but no tar, etc. just a harmless "smoke" also. gradually taper off or do what i did-made a decision to stop at the end of the carton. bought the patch and put it on at the end of the carton. lots of tootsie roll pops helped too with the oral fixation. but first i needed to be committed to stop. no negotiation. it's like alcohol. one drink is not enough. when you decide to quit drinking it can be the difference in one's success.
