well got first kit i believe was 7/17/2013 i did cut down right away from 2-3 pad to 1. then slowly tapered them out haven't had one since 8 am 9/3/2013 now even the smell of them turns my stomach. hubby wakes me up every morning stinking up the house i'm like go outside that stinks lol. i bought him a kit also but he never gave it much of a chance until i quit. he said he didn't think i'd do it. surprise i did. when i'm awake he will smoke outside now but he thinks i won't smell it when i'm sleeping ugh
