My experience was that smoking is such a personal addiction that each person has to use whatever methods work for him/her, use a number of different ways (I used cutting back, nicotine gum, exercise, and just plain stubbornness). It took me three tries over four years before I finally succeeded in 1991, but I think my recovery is complete. I do not desire cigarettes or nicotine, I have not replaced the addiction with anything else (other than a healthier lifestyle), and other people smoking does not make me crazy. I would be skeptical of a packaged cure for this addiction. Barbara Kass [log in to unmask]
