I smoked pack/day for 40 yrs. Quit Mar. '98. The patches got me through altho I still miss cigarettes. In Sept. husband was diagnosed with oat cell cancer (from smoking) altho he too quit Mar. '98. Undergoing chemo & radiation now. Just hang in there. You can do this.

Sorry to hear this about your husband. My dad died when I was in my teens, at a young 60, having his first heart attack seven years earlier. He smoked a pack of Camels every day for over 30 years.
