I used the LifeSign system to quit smoking and it will be twenty years this year for me since I quit. It works to gradually withdrawal the nicotine out of your system and should be used as a tool with other methods. I walked 5 miles per day, chewed sugarless gum, went to therapy, read daily meditations to quit smoking, listened to subliminal tapes three times per day that pertained to quitting smoking, kept a list of all of the reasons I wanted to quit in my pocket, held my breath as long as I could whenever I got a bad urge and the craving would go away. the key is to remember you are going to have the craving whether you smoke or not. Then you don't give in to the craving. It gets easier over time. The American Lung Association's line of; "Don't quit quitting" is very appropriate. One of the times you will be successful. It took me five times. I don't blame the surgeon as the surgery is going to be a waste if you continue to smoke. The problem is that you will not heal correctly if you continue to smoke.

Quit Smoking Gradually With QuitKey!

Hang in there.
