So glad you found this site, you will get so much feedback and figure out what is best for you, most important for me was the desire to quit, I also have illnesses directly resulting from smoking, and i actually didn't make it to my quit date because I ended up in the hospital, that was 5 days ago, I never thought I would "cold turkey", but thats how it worked out,i tried the patch upon leaving the hospital, and it made me sick, headache, nausea, the whole bit, but for others it's a wonder. You do your due diligence and keep coming back! It works, just follow the plan! You deserve a smoke-free life!
