Thanks for the article. It may be to your website's advantage, to also state some statistics on nicotine overdoses. 
 
Several years ago, I overdosed on the nicotine patch. After thinking I was having a heart attack and going to the emergency room, I was told the there was more nicotine in the patch than what I had been smoking. The doctor told me to never use another NRT again...which is why I chose my way of quitting.
 
I do agree with you that cold turkey is the only way to go!!! The gradual withdrawal was horrible. When I just let go and quit, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
 
Once again, thanks for your website. And thank you for taking your time to email me personally.
