    Hi...I have been smoking for the last 3 years and I am not a heavy smoker( 2-3 cigarettes a day). Should I go for nicotine patch?

    There is no "silver bullet" for quitting smoking. You have to have strong will power for starters. I also used nicotine gum and patches for the first three weeks, tapering off gradually. It was easy peasy for me but I know some people find it really difficult. Best decision I ever made was to quit. And, I'm saving a ton of money not buying cigarettes, lighters, etc. Good luck ya'll!✌

    R u serious? I used to smoke cigarette 2 packets a day. Then I switched to Vape. But now i don’t take any of those. I was thinking about nicotine patches. So what should i do now? Anyway i start cigarette smoking when i was 15, now i m 38 years old. I stop cigarette smoking 4 months ago and then I switched to Vape. I don’t take vape, but now i start smoking again, not that much. 5 sticks of cigarette a day, but inside my mind i don't feel good. Physically i also don’t feel good. So, that's why I'm thinking about nicotine patches. What’s your opinion, or any strong suggestion?

    @@rezwanneo5885 From what I know about the patches, you have to use them correctly. Follow the directions from the manufacturer and get your doctor's advise. Quitting a two pack-a-day habit sounds difficult but it can be done! Best wishes to you...

    ​@@rezwanneo5885 2 cigs per hour smoker here who smoked for 21 years . On a whim I just gave my tobacco to my friends and went on the max nicotine patch. First 2 days were pretty rough , but if I tried to smoke it would taste like chalk or make me sick so that kept me away from it. After that , your body is not used to digest without the extra stuff from vapes and cigs , so was very bloated for 2 weeks . Switched to a lower dose patch after 6 weeks and then the lowest after 2 more weeks . I went on and off with that one as I was too highly emotional to go cold turkey even from that , but after a couple of weeks I was weaned off. 1 year smoke free now

    Patches are equivalent to smoking a half of a cigarette a day. Not only do they not keep you addicted but they don't help you quit. They are a mental substitute not a solution.

    Nicotine the chemical itself, is not very dangerous to the human body. The carcinogens in cigarette smoke is 100X more dangerous. If you use the product correctly and wean off, and have some resemblance of will power you will do fine. It’s how I quit for good and I tried everything else. The patch just worked best for me.
