I quit a couple years ago. Had to go cold turkey because of patch side affects. Either way, you CAN do it. Good Luck !

I suggest suck up and quit get off the patch you're still getting the nicotine which is the chemical that's addictive in the first place! your still smoking just not through a cigarette. Nobody can honestly tell me that it is hard to quit. If you want to do it you should be able too. My grandma,grandpa,best friends mom,dad (stopped chewing), and my mom stopped doing crack and other drugs. So it can't be that hard they all did cuz they wanted to they didn't have a nicotine patch or gum! all that stuff is bologna and is just a way to make money. You're not going to be able to quit ntil you know you want to.

Good for u! I never tried it. I quit cold turkey. I just decided that I didnt wanna die young and my kids be on commercials saying that their mom died of lung cancer from smoking. Or for them to get cancer or something from it. That was my motivation! But Im like the only one who was able to do that. My mom did use the patch and was able to quit. GOOD LUCK!

I know a few people who have tried it. It worked for some and not for others. From what I have seen, the ones that really wanted to quit, did well. Also, it depends on if your addiction is truly the nicotine or just having something in your hand/mouth.

I don't smoke, but both of my brothers have. The only way to quit is cold turkey, as hard as it is. Eat candy or chew alot of gum.

My bosslady's mom used them for a while, but quit using them and started smoking again. She was fine while she used them, I think the ol bat just likes smoking.

They made my puke. Even using the lowest dosage. Watch out for dizziness and nausea...it's an overdose.
But you have the craziest dreams...just wait.
