Slightly off topic but I thought I should let those of us who are trying to quit smoking in on the secret of how to do it, and it is very simple. However, to not spoil it for those who don't want to know i will put it in a spoiler block.
Ready?
Spoiler:
Don't buy them.
It worked for me.
Additional info..
Spoiler:
Patches and gum do nothing but keep nicotine in your system. That is the very thing you want to get rid of. The reason your cravings don't stop is because you're not stopping use of the drug. The only way to stop is to STOP. Don't ask for them, and if the cashier at the place you go to automatically gives them to you like a routine (like mine did) just wave them off. "Not today" is all you need to say.
You only need to not smoke for 3 days. Thats right, THREE DAYS clean and the only thing that's left will be the need to have something between your fingers. Buy a pen 
It really is that simple. If this doesn't work, then you don't want to quit.
