What is the best quit smoking aid?

For those who have actually quit smoking…did you use nicotine replacement like gum, patches, prescription etc? I know some quit cold turkey but I just want to know what the best aid for quitting smoking is. Thanks.
Glad you quit smoking but that really isn’t something to be proud of. Do you not have a job? I need something NOT illegal that I can use at work.

Has anyone on here used the stop smoking aid Chantix? If so, how did it work for you?

My husband and I just got prescriptions filled for the smoking cessation drug Chantix. I wondered if anyone on here had tried this drug, and if so how it worked for them. Any weird side effects, sleeping problems, mood swings, etc?

What kind of changes can I expect and when even while using a stop smoking aid?

I’m using the Nicorette inhaler to quit smoking. I’ve been smoking for 17 years and today was my first day of quitting and I did really good.
My question is what kind of changes can I expect in my body and when, even though I am still taking in a small amount of nicotine? If anyone knows, that would be great.
Thanks!
Smoke free for 1 Day, 3 Hours, and 35 Minutes. :)

What is the best over the counter stop smoking aid?

I’ve been smoking for almost 3 years, and whenever I go without a cigarette I go crazy from withdrawals. This is why I don’t think I could do it without an aid. What is the best one I can buy without a prescription?

Stop smoking aids, which ones to use?

I’ve been smoking for awhile. I tried the patches and gum with no results and a lot less money in the end. I’m going to see my doctor about maybe a prescription stop smoking aid. Does anyone know of any names so I can read up on them? Thanks!

Are there any stop smoking aids that don’t leave sores in your mouth?

I am trying to quit smoking and I was doing really well with the gum, until i started getting these terrible sores in my mouth. I still can’t open my mouth all of the way because of them. I really want to quit. I’ve been smoking for about 9 years. Any help would be great.

Basement apartment bad for infant with Chronic Lung disease?

We have a preemie who is still in the NICU with Chronic Lung Disease. Will our basement apartment be a good environment for her when she comes home? And what do I have to do to keep our apartment safe for her condition?
We don’t have the funds to move. Our landlords have given us a break on rent to save our money to go back and forth to the cities.
