I'm trying to quit smoking

Today I started using the nicotine patch. I’m sick. So I don’t really feel like smoking anyway. Has anyone quit using the patch ?

I am allergic to the patch so I used the gum in the psych ward. Unfortunately I wasn’t trying to quit though. I went back to vaping (yes I vape not smoke).

I’m quit. I quit greater than 3 years ago. One of the things I used was the patch.

Have heard the lozenges are good also

Nothing worked for me and I tried everything. But I use an ecig now. So I’m tobacco free (but not nicotine free)

My husband quit using the gum.

If you try it, I suggest getting it at Costco, its half the price.

He also uses the lozenges that @Jimbob mentioned.

Good luck!

I did similar as spiderpig. I went cold turkey and then when the cravings got to be too much I went to the zero nicotine vape. Still use it occasionally when I get stressed. Haven’t had a cigarette in more than 4 years.

I quit using the patch yes. It took a few attempts but have been smoke free for 13 years.
