To NRT or not to NRT......that is the question (W. Shakespeare..deceased)

This is a subject that will always promote strong feeling. This is a personal decision , and there will always be arguments 'for' and 'against' for this particular topic. I used NRT (patches), my quit is strong and I have NEVER EVER faltered. However, I know of many people on this site that chose to do this Cold Turkey, and their quit is just as strong! Whatever method anyone chooses can ONLY be successful IF the determination to succeed is there! Rachel :) One year, ten months, three weeks, five days, 22 hours, 40 minutes and 9 seconds. 13918 cigarettes not smoked, saving �3,131.75. Life saved: 6 weeks, 6 days, 7 hours, 50 minutes.

Just want to know what you think??

Tough question........ :) Depends what you determine as "smoke free" days!!!! Whilst I "personally" feel that SMOKE FREE should mean SMOKE FREE - I understand that nothing is that simple :) Every quit is different - as are the "needs" of every quitter. Slipping is not necessarily something that should be judged.....just supported. We all have times when things don't go as planned - and quitting smoking is no exception. This is an addiction that, for some of us, may take several attempts to conquer. For me, yes, one puff IS a slip......but it doesn't mean failure and it doesn't mean the end of your quit - it takes courage and a whole lot of determination to recover from "just one puff". Rachel x One year, ten months, three weeks, five days, 22 hours, 57 minutes and 18 seconds. 13919 cigarettes not smoked, saving �3,131.80. Life saved: 6 weeks, 6 days, 7 hours, 55 minutes.
