The nicotine patch helped me a lot. It doesn't completely kill the cravings, but it made me a lot more tolerable to be around. Smokers have 2 addictions to deal with - the nicotine addiction, and the habits around smoking (e.g. lighting up every time you get in your car, or every time you leave a building, or after every meal). The idea behind the patch is to use the nicotine in the patch to tide you over on the first addiction long enough that you break the habits of smoking, then remove the chemical after the behavior is changed.
