Answers:

The answerers who think you are not trying hard enough are obviously not smokers. It is REALLY difficult to quit smoking. Some doctors who practice in the field of addiction think it is more difficult to quit smoking than to give up heroin. You have my sympathy and support. Two very heavy smokers in my life have successfully quit smoking with the use of a prescription drug called Zyban. It is expensive, about $280 for a three-month supply, but then smoking is very expensive as well. You will need to get a prescription from a doctor. You keep smoking for the first two weeks that you use it and then you stop. It works on the serotonin in your brain and actually permanently alters your desire to smoke. It is not 100% effective, but success is pretty high if you are very motivated to quit. I would definitely consider this. The two people I referred to - my daughter and my boyfriend - had tried EVERYTHING - the patches, hyponosis, cold-turkey, etc. Even if something worked for awhile, they would always start again, in time. Both have stopped for several years now, after using Zyban.

I wish you success.
