    Anybody ever use the patch to help quit smoking?

    Does that shit work? I smoking heavy again and I wake up and my chest feels like shit. I go play hockey and I can hardly breath. Time to quit. (AGAIN)

      Almost 2 months here. Quit cold turkey. I started 4 days before the Vegas Internext show, I figured if I could go through that, I'm done for good.

        I have the patch on right now.
        Calm blue oceans.

        Actually, the patch has helped me quit smoking a few times, though each time, I caught retarded, and went back months later of being patch and smoke free.

        Don't wear that shit while you sleep though. You'll have the most messed up, vivid dreams ever.
        Your post count means nothing.

          I find they are awesome until I hit the 3 week mark... then they don't help me at all

          Yeah the dreams are very vivid... I had to give up wearing them when I slept!

            The patch only helps.

            _You_ have to really want to quit smoking if you're going to quit smoking. (notice the period)

            I used the entire step-down system just as they lay it out for you, but it still was a pain in the arse, and the week after I stopped using the patch was pretty hellacious (especially the 2 days after I was 100% nic-free)

            But ya... smoked a pack a day for 8-years, and quitting with the patch was easier than the time I gave myself a 6-month "cold-turkey" trial a couple years before that....

            Just gotta set a date, and stick to the date. Realize you'll always be an addict (hell, even 5 years smoke-free, I still get the urge to light up now and then), and stick to your guns.
            -D.

              my husband used the patch - he actually wore it for almost a year, each week cutting it smaller and smaller. I know that's not how its suposed to be done.. but i think to him having something on his arm made him feel better mentally.. not sure if it physically helped or not. Anyways, he's been smoke free for 3+ years now.
