Congrats I know this isn't easy. I also quit last year, I haven't had a smoke since 9/30.....the day before archery season. I quit specifically because I didn't want to smell like it when I was in the woods. I used the patch to help me quit. I saw more deer last year.....and more bigger bucks as well but I was a LOT more strict on scent control than in previous years.....so I can't say if it was the smoking thing or not for sure. It sure does save me a lot of money though......I have already saved enough money by quitting to pay for my pretty new constitution.
