I know what ya mean dude! That's how I started smoking cigs... Moderation is the key though, try only smoking after you get blazed. Or if you smoke nearly as much as I do try only smoking a couple cigs a day.
You'll get a much better buzz and save a lot of money in the process. 
win/win
Not sure about the nicotine patches, but I have tried the gum... nasty as fuck. Anyway, good luck man. The best option may not be quitting, but maybe just cutting back a little on the cigs.

Patches never worked for me. The gum kinda worked, but I went back to smoking. Just ordered an ecig, I'm hoping once I get it that I'll never buy cigarettes again and will eventually be done with my nicotine dependence.

ecigs are alright, I've only tried the ones with low nicotine content which didn't really provide the "buzz" I was looking for. They taste great though... Just be sure to start with the high nicotine content cartridges and slowly work your way down to the low nicotine content cartridges.

ive been on a roll for quitting things so far... ive quit drinking everyday, reduced to only on weekends... stopped taking xanax, i can actually remember shit.. quit coffee... and now im quitting cigs... i dont think ill ever quit weed... im doing it for health reasons, and also cuz im broke and that shit is all unnecessary shit we waste our money on...
if anyone has any advice to keep me on this streak it would be much appreciated...
ive tried the gum and didnt like it, tasted like shit. I like the patches because its a constant dose of nicotine, so even when i do activities that trigger a craving (ie waking up, after eating, after blazing, getting in my car, etc) i dont get the cravings...
My old way of quitting was to switch to chewing tobacco... which never worked, i think because you are actually getting more nicotine... with the patches I can taper...

If the patches are working for you keep it up man! and whenever you want a cig just light up a joint.

that's the best advice I can give ya.

besides the fact that it disolves your gums, i guess so
snuff is probably the way to go http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snuff
