How hard is it to quit smoking?

quit smoking
I’m planning on quitting starting Aug 21st. My reason is so i can live longer for my child, plus he has asthma and i don’ t want the cigarette smoke in my clothes anymore when he breathes it in. Another reason is gas prices are so high now and between gas prices and buying cigarettes i spend at least $80-$100 a month. This will be my first time ever doing this, i don’t even know how to quit or avoid the cravings. I really can’t afford the smoking cessation classes (don’t know if i spelled the word right lol) i just want to do it on my own. I already know that the nicotine gum won’t work because i already chew gum when i’m smoking a cigarette. Need advice please and thank you to all!
I have people that will support me, like my boyfriend (he wants me to quit also), co-workers, my mom said she’ll support me but she smokes too and i live with her, i know other family members will be willing to help me.

Can the nicotine patch cause sweating as side effect ?

nicotine
Just curious because I am on day 4 of quitting and its not too bad as far as the cravings but the first 2 days were hell mentally. Now on day 4 I am sweating and have a dry cough in which no phlegm comes up… is it from the nicotine patch… am I getting sick ? I just got over a bad cold and dont want to get sick again due to time out of work… the sweats are on and off same as the cough what is the deal ?

quit smoking, any herbal supplement?

herbal quit smoking
Hi,
I want to quit smoking and in the past the gums or patches did not work. Do you know any herbal supplement that would help me tame the cravings so that I don;t feel compelled to fire my entire staff over a period of two weeks?
thanks
