Yes they do, but you have to want to quit as well.
I used them to quit smoking about 5 years ago or so.

Patches are only an aid, not a cure. Quiting has a lot to do with how bad you want to quit. At best it's not easy for most, due in part to the many addictive substances that are added by the tobacco companies.

they will sort of help with the withdrawal and the times when you are weakest, like after a meal, or waking up in the morning. But they also might keep you up at night and make your sleep filled with weird dreams if you don't take it off a little bit before bedtime.
After you smoke for a long time. (years) it is a way of life for a person. You have to get a new way of living your life after years of a habitual way of living. your brain does not adjust well to change of any kind and throws a fit as well as wanting its shot of pep me up nicotine.
I have smoked for almost 25 years now and have tried numerous times to quit ; I have used most of the withdrawal symptom aids out there and always went back to the blasted things when things go stressful. Good luck with your trying!

They work only if you make them work, you have to really want to quit. If you do want to and are strong enough to forego the urge of sticking a cigarette in your mouth they do work. IF not don't waste your money until you are really ready to give it up.

They help, but just stopping works better.
