"Neither group knew whether they had the real patch."

I would know, though. It hurts like hell, when the patch on the arm and there
would be a soreness where the skin drank the stuff.

Back in 2007, in the month of August, I put together a few methods and Quit
Smoking with Mental Strength, and like that, it worked.

I never smoked again ever since, well, I tried, two times, and I could not smoke
any more beyond coughing after a drag or two. Since then I cannot be bothered
with smoking.

I absolutely loved not smoking and not being DEPENDENT on the dirty stuff. I can
breathe better, I can not feel sore throat, I just feels better all round.

The idea of using the patch just to gain some dubious benefits of better memeory
and such... no thanks, I have no wish to get hooked on nicotine ever again.
Freedom is better than dependence on anything, apart from fresh alkaline water,
clean healthy vegies adn fruits, that's about it. No more dependence on cooked
(addictive) foods, etc.

Ah well. It'll always be a long-long series of adjustments to changing
conditions and such-like. That's life.

I hope to test the MexiStim I, now that I just purchased it, I'll see what
benefits it will give, especailly my insomnia and such. I can hardly wait.
Cheers!

Half got a nicotine patch of 15 mg per day for six months; the other poor
bastards got a placebo. Neither group knew whether they had the real patch.
