Hi!
I quit a year ago and it was the hardest thing to do. I had attempted to quit about 5 times before that. They say that cigarettes are more addictive than heroine. I believe it. In my opinion, if you could get on the patch that would be healthier for you--straight nicotine without the tar and other pollutants. You may want to do another cleanse after you are off the patch just to rid your body of the lingering nicotine/cigarette toxins.
