Good for you. As a former smoker, I am pulling for you. What a great gift you are giving yourself & your family!!
My Mom was a heavy smoker and died from lung cancer. When she found out she had the tumor she quit cold turkey. I always said if I had known that it would have been that easy for her to quit I would have advocated her getting the patches.
All of us on this board will be here for plenty of encouragement.
