Cold Turkey is the only way that will work in the long run. Pills or patches as soon as you stop using them you’ll want to light up again. The first few days are the hardest, so stay strong.
It also helps if you change some of your other habits too, if you smoke a pack w/ your morning java, quit the java too, you’ll be less likely to have that craving
Don’t quit quitting, not many people do succeed on their first or second time, hang in there.

find another addictive habbit to get into thats cheaper than smoking

I smoked 2 packs a day for nine years, and I quit cold turkey over 5 years ago and haven’t touched a cigarette since!
I went to Nicotine Anonymous meetings for support (they’re free, btw). I also kept lollipops handy and sucked one whenever I wanted a cigarette. Good luck!

Sorry but I quite cold turkey so my say in it is simple:
You can’t rely on anything but your own will power. Taking a pill or wearing a patch just becomes and excuse for failure.

my grandmother bought suckers and everytime she wanted a cigarette she sucked on a sucker instead…it worked for her
