Pick the no smoking route. :-)

I used the patch for about 10 days-2 weeks, I really don't remember
now, but it was for a very short time. It was long enough FOR ME to
get through the first week or so without killing someone. I stopped
using it one weekend morning when I realized the patch had fallen off
sometime during the night and I didn't notice it. I decided to see
how long I could go without a new patch and haven't used one, or any
other type of NRT (except for AS3) since. I had some totally bizarre
dreams while using the patch and I miss those (most memorable: a
convertible airplane).

You need to do whatever works for you. I think there's a great deal
to be said for using NRT for as short a time as possible; the quicker
you rid your body of any kind of nicotine the better. That's just my
opinion. Anything that works to keep you from lighting up a shitstick
is a good thing.

You CAN do this, BP. You KNOW you can.
