Stop using tobacco September 5, 2008
I smoked and chewed for 17 years. I tried cold turkey and the gum. The gum helped me limit my intake, but I couldn't quit altogether. The patches work, and if you're a heavy user the $65/month saves $$ as well.
Doesn't fall off anymore March 11, 2008
As long as you use a shaved area, where the skin doesn't fold (i.e. upper arm, upper back) you'll be good. It does leave a red mark, but it only lasts a day or so. Been smoke-free for 1 week, 4 days thanks to these patches.
six week smoke free!! It really is about will power January 7, 2008

I smoke 1.5 to 2 pack a day for 14 years. (since i was 16 - now I am 30.)
Im a cheap and got 4 free patches from a buddy (2 of my buddies quit using these patches too)- Transdermal brand. So instead of going on the 6 week program I went on my own 4 day program with these patches. I had 1- 21mg and 3-14mg patches.
It really works. what I did was for the first 2 weeks I hid from everyone i knew who smoked. I know that sounds drastic, but its true and it worked for me. I told myself, do not replace this habit with any other habits (ie. chew gum or eat candy). So I just stayed home and became a hermit for a couple weeks. after the 3rd week the urges have subsided and it has gotten alot easier. i am in the end of 6th week and to be honest I dont have a urge for a cig anymore. In fact I can even watch other my buddies smoke and its no biggie.
These patches do work, but it also has to do with will power! Just remember it gets easier after week 3++.
About the patches it self, the bad thing is that it does not stick onto your body for a full 24 hour period. i used tape to hold it down after the 10th to 12 hour.
Good luck!
This product works very well! December 10, 2007

If you want to stop smoking this works well. I continued using these patches for MANY months (about 7months) after the directions told me I should get off of them. I believe this is what made the product work for me. I initially followed their timetable but strongly felt the urge to start smoking again during the stepdowns to the weaker patches. I decided that going back to smoking was much worse for my health than continuing the use of these nicotine patches until I was good and ready to give them up. I figured the patches only have transdermal nicotine...whereas the smoke has even more nicotine as well as hundreds of chemicals which are inhaled.
I saved a lot of money over the months by cutting the 21mg patches down as I very slowly stepped down to the lower doses...first into halves and then into quarters for as long as I needed to. (You can also save a bundle of dough by purchasing the generic patches made by Safeway grocery stores...they are identical to these and even somewhat more comfortable to wear as the plastic is softer on the skin.) I always got a slight ache when I put the patches on my arms or legs...I discovered the best place to wear them is your back...alternating sides each day you use them.
One fine day I didn't need a patch anymore!!! I haven't smoked for over a year and smokers and cigarette smoke now give me serious nausea. It is hard for me to believe I ever smoked! (I smoked 1.5 packs a day for 30 years!) It is real pleasure to breathe and taste and smell again as well as to wear gorgeous perfumes which I buy with the money I save from being addiction-free! It is a self-esteem booster to kick this habit too! So many benefits!
Good luck, make your own timetable and persevere for as long as it takes you...it is 100% worth it!
