It is not easy but as others said, if you really want to, you can quit. I had urges every now and then not too bad, but the secret is to remember that there is no such thing as "just one". You have to constantly remind yourself that if you give up and light-up "just one" cigarette all your effort was in vain, and for what? You don't really need it anymore, so why ruin a good thing?The patches worked for me, I am now on step 2 (over a month smoke free). I hope they work for you, too. Good luck!
