As you all know, there are many articles and programs designed to help one quit smoking. Unfortunately, none of them can seem to agree on whether or not it is beneficial to use Nicotine Replacement Therapy (gum, lozenge, patch, etc.). The one time I had success quitting, I used the gum daily but smoked a cigarette the evening I got off it, about 2 1/2 months into my quit. Part of me thinks that I was using the gum just like I would use a cigarette, and never really got used to the idea of being nicotine free. What are your experiences with NRT or lack thereof?
