Dead easy! I did it LOADS of times!
Seriously ..... good luck with it. It's been one the hardest things I ever did. I used Zyban 6 years ago, but I'm sure you won't be allowed to use that method if you have high-ish blood preassure.

Have you thought about the lozenges.  I dont know if you can take them with high blood pressure but they work very well, I can vouch for them   ;)

My other half is currently in the process of giving up. She's reading a book by a guy called Alan Carr and reckons it's the best thing ever. The power of suggestion and all that:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Allen-Carrs-Easy-Stop-Smoking/dp/0140277633

If your blood pressure is too high to use the patches, might be worth an alternative like this. Especially since you can buy it for about £5 inc P&P.

Good luck with the giving up though!!
