It's day 5 for cutting down to 6 a day alternating with nicotine lozenges. This is the plan my lung Dr. and I came up with. On Oct. 1 I will use patches and lozenges for severe cravings. My copd is severe now and I have had such a hard time quitting just with the patches. I have smoked 2 packs/day for 43 yrs and after researching this it is safe to use lozenges while on the patch. In fact smokers have a much higher success rate doing this. I wish someone would have told me 17 mos ago when my copd was still moderate. I've been a little slow incorporating using this site as I have had a lot of Dr. apts and physical therapy but I will get on here daily as my quit date comes closer. All of you are so imporatant to me and I really don't believe I would be successful without you.

I'm 59 with severe COPD. I've decided I really want to live and I won't if I smoke. I have 4 grown boys, a grandson and granddaughter due on 9/10. Lots of reasons to live.
