Wow! You gotta double whammy going on! Pot and Nicotine! Whew! You started when you were 9 years old? Oh my! You need lots of support if you are going to succeed. Pot is just as dangerous if not moreso than nicotine because when you inhale it you draw it in deep and hold it as long as you can for the added benefit. You gotta get off this stuff and Jade is right, doing both smoking and the patch could thro you right into a heart attack, stroke or god only knows what else. Go to whyquit.com and read, read and read some more. We will be here with ya all the way and if at first you do not succeed, you try and try and try again, like me lol, till you do!
I no ur right & the more the days are goin by the less i'm smokin, I light 1 this morning & put it out, i went to the gym to take my mind of it, Go iv gone through so much gum i cud open shop haha, But to be honest i don't enjoy them i don't no if it' the patches that are makin them nasty or iv just had enough,
Ye the cravings are horrible when they start, but iv craved just as addictive dugs so i'll get over it, As for the pot i no its still like smoking, But iv taken too usin a pipe, I'v even cut right back on the pot crazy eh.
What makin it all the more worth while is my kids. My 1
2 year old is sooo happy with my so he gives me alot of support, He'l *** me & say do u need a stick ov gum mum bless him,
I'm just so glad his generation have a totally different view on smoking from when i was his age. Hopefully as the generations go on smoking will if not stop all together cut down by a hell ov alot. It was seen s cool when i was a kid, Now i just see it as a horrible, Nasty, smellin looking habit, THAT KILLS
Thanks for your honesty & sorry for going on, i do it alot, get carried away lol

What you are doing, using the patch as well as smoking is VERY dangerous and I strongly suggest that if you can't quit smoking with the patch, then you are better off smoking without the patch.
You really have to want to quit, no matter how hardcore your addiction, you can quit if you have the will to do it.
I smoked for nearly 40 years and I was hardcore but when I saw that I was able to reduce my cigs by using Chantix/Champix, It gave me the confidence and the strength to stop all together.
I can't help you with the pot smoking, but I'm sure it's all about your "want & will." Nothing is ever going to be easy and you are going to have to work for it, but it's so darned satisfying when you do it ; )
Try reading some of the articles at whyquit.com. This website supports a cold turkey quit but you don't have to quit that way in order to benefit from the articles.
Good luck!

Yes, sorry my posts are pretty hard 2 understand. I no eneryone will give me loads of **** for still smoking & using patches, But im a heavy very heavy canabis smoker & smoked 20 a day, Since i started the patches i have almost stopped, Yesterday including joints i had 5 smokes,
When i went for my first appoinment the guy was so nice & he told me i'd have to make a few changes to help me quit, like make 1 room in the house a no smoking room, Stuff like that, He also said i will probably need gum & the inhaler, I'm not so sure as i'am doing ok. But i got bk in just under 2 weeks to see how things are going. I'v started a diary so every time i do feellike lighting up Or dp light up i putdow, where i was, what made me want to smoke ect, I hope its abit more clear,I'm real bad @ posting lol
