I am an advocate of cold turkey.
It is quicker, safer, cheaper and statistically more successful than many methods.
This doesn't mean other methods are doomed to failure,
All Quits are a Good Quit.
All you must do is stand by your commitment to Never Take Another Puff.
NOPE your way through.
(or pretzel your way through, lol)
If you want to quit nicotine then stop administering the drug.
Try Oxygen.
If you are fooling yourself and setting yourself up for a relapse by removing patches and taking up cold turkey,
you know that in your heart of hearts.
Don't blame cold turkey for relapse.
Relapse is pre-meditated. You must procure a smoke and light it. Don't do it.
