knows (i hope) just how urgent it is that he succeeds, but every time he

tried--he failed. the friend of mine i wrote about before in my introductions

with the daughter that died at 18 of c.f. never quit and from my understanding

Hi Beth!

Something different works for everyone, and I strongly recommend that

your hubby get some kind of support, whether it is a Smokenders group

or a doctor and an Internet support group.

I quit alone and I really missed the support. I stuck with it,

though, and eventually my husband did the patch and succeeded (it was

his 2nd try with that method).

Failure is part of the effort, unfortunately. Very few people succeed

who try the first time. That is the *good* news for your husband,

This could really be the one!

Get all the support you can. Change all the things for which you

" need " a cigarette (I could not sit and read a book fro a few years,

had an awful time paying bills (don't know why, but it was a habit to

have a cigarette at the table while I wrote checks), and I STILL

have a hard time talking on the phone (EIGHT YEARS LATER!!!)

BUT, I don't miss it, finally.

I 'd be happy to chat with your husband anytime.

GOOD LUCK!

I wish I had some really good advice, but all I can say is what worked for

my dad. He had a heart attack (then another and another), which really

scared him. He hasn't smoked even once since. Of course, being in the

hospital in Cardiac ICU so much and not being allowed to smoke, just using

the patch, I think helped him quit a bit faster, as by the time he got out,

some of the emotional addiction was lessened. And I truly believe, as most

ex- and current smokers do, that the emotional addiction is much harder to

get rid of. The nicotine chemical addiction goes away, but that " craving "

never really does. My MIL tried to quit, but was unsuccessful. She said it

was the emotional connection she had with the cigarettes that was the

hardest part.

There is one product out there that may be worth trying. I don't remember

the exact name, but it looks sort of like a cigarette, but doesn't have

smoke--it calms the nicotine cravings, and like the patch, I guess you " step

down " . Haven't known anyone who ever tried it, but thought it was

interesting.

Here is a good website to go to for support and ideas for quitting.

I wish your husband the best of luck!

Forgot to also mention that my father started on Zyban, and really likes it.

He said he hardly feels any craving at all anymore.

Good ideas .

I got the itching side effect and had to stop taking it within 2

weeks. Many people have had great success with it.
