Wow, for most people you're so wrong.

The physical addiction to Nicotine will stop about 72 hours after you stop taking Nicotine. After that, your body won't crave it as a physical addiction anymore.

It's the habbit that gets most people. The years of smoking. The routines of smoking (In the morning, in the car, when they drink) that makes for the powerful longterm addiction.

That's why the patch works for a lot of people. It gives you a long period of time, like 10 weeks or longer, in which you can change your habbits and routines, without suffering the physical withdrawl from nicotine at the same time.
