I switched to nicotine patches and never looked back, I use them as nootropics now.

The key is to break any brain connection between doing something and receiving nicotine, no other method can do this, you will simply keep dosing.

I'm at the point where I will often forget to put a patch on. I also cut the patches up to get the desired dose and save money as all box doses are the same price (try and convince me that this is wrong).

I will occasionally use a higher dose if I'm on a night out or feel the need but since it takes maybe an hour to have an effect I don't ever feel the need to re-dose it's just something I put on and forget. Best nicotine decision I ever made.
