PAXboy,
I recommend the nicotine gum. Is helps with the oral fixation as well. I started using the gum while traveling but then realized that since it worked so well, maybe I could actually use it as designed and eventually quit smoking.
Problem is that now I am so addicted to the gum, I may need a few cigarettes a day to get of it.
Also, I wouldn’t recommend the patch. I tried them for a while, but couldn’t keep them lit.
