aloha, money is tight but how much are you spending on cigs? it really does even out. I would even say this is so important for you to do I would suggest taking out a cash advance on a credit card if you have to or ask a pal to loan or buy you the patches for your birthday. don't go out to eat a time or two, or cut back on something. just don't short change you or your family, try the health dept. or the lung association. you can't afford not to do something. I found it very hard to go cold turkey put many people can, that is free. try not to put up road blocks to your quit before you even begin.
