I quit 8 years ago this August. I used the nicotine patch along with 2 other things to help when the going got rough.
First I used cinnamon sticks that I puffed on like a cigarette. That helps you with the physical routine of smoking.
Second I had read an article that the people who made the nicotine spray noticed that people were getting a relief from the nicotine spray before it could possibly have entered their blood system. They decided that the spray hitting the back of their throat irritated the back of their throat the same way that smoking does and so the body reacted to the spray because of the irritation just as if they had taken a puff off a smoke. I decided to use regular breath spray, the stronger the better!
These are only stop gap measures to get you over the hump when the going gets tough. These helped me, I hope that they help someone else out there.
