I smoke.
Here's the key.... You have to actually want to quit. Because if you don't desire to stop, then all the patches and gum in the world aren't gonna help ya. I get badgered at least a couple times a week (usually by family) to quit smoking, but I honestly have no desire to. I like it. I know if I tried to quit right now, it'd be unsuccessful simply because I don't desire it. Now, if one of those family members were to offer me 1 million dollars to stop smoking tomorrow, I'd quit, but it'd be because I had motivation to do so. Personally, I don't see myself quitting until some day when I have a kid. At that point, I'd hate to be setting a bad example for them so I would then have the desire to quit.
All that being said, if you really DO want to quit, I'd say just go cold turkey and stop (mind over matter) or else try the gum. My cousin did that when he quit and it seems to have worked for him.
