Hi, George -
I didn't want to quit, but my husband bought "One Step at a Time" filters that cut the nicotine. By the time I was on the 3rd filter, I had weaned myself from the nicotine & forgot that I didn't want to quit. He went back to smoking but finally quit cold turkey a couple years later. It was the best thing we did.

Quitting is easy; staying off cigarettes is hard. Do whatever works for you and never give up. Oh - you already said that. Good luck!
