    Good for you rookietrucker...keep it up. I went cold turkey 25 years ago and glad I did. Those cravings will last a little while longer, but just keep thinking how much money you will be saving without buying cigs.

    I used this a couple of years ago and actually did quit smoking immediately for the length of time that I was using the drug. It made me super moody, but I wasn't smoking. Then I found out about the FMCSA ban, and that was that. I am smoking again, but never more than about a half pack a day. I wish I had been able to complete the program... I was still on the starter pack.

    i admire anybody that can quit cold turky or any way for that matter---i tried the laser thing---long time ago--worked for maybe a day--tried the hypnosis tapes---yea right a waste of money--tried chantix before it was regd--#### stuff almost killed me--thought i was having a heart attack--must have had a reaction with my heart meds--poor old ticker #### neared jumped right out--i even tried the electronic ciggarette--tasted like i was smokin old diapers---very crappy---so now here i sit still at my 2 packs a day---hats off to all of you quitters
