> After trying to quit several times

I think that's an important point. Even if you don't quit this time, you have to keep trying.

I tried to quit at least six or seven times before finally succeeding eight years ago. The last time, I used nicotine gum for about a week. Before that, I had quit for up to a month, more than once, with help from either the patch or gum. All my relapses came during social situations.
