I think these things are nothing but a gimmick Is there anyone out there who has really been helped w/ stop smoking patches?

i used to smoke but smoke patches ( as i think) will never really help anybody to stop smoking. stop smoking needs discipline. a patch is there just to remind you not to smoke but if are not focus enough or not that discipline you cannot really stop smoking.

I agree - I think it's just as easy to lay them down as it is to pick them up & that's really all there is to it. I must say there is a big difference between wanting to quit smoking & not wanting to smoke. +'s 2 U

My husband used the patch to help him quit a year ago. I guess you just really need the determination to quit, and the will power.

I tried them when I was attempting to quit. I ended up having some type of allergic reaction to the glue. It was terrible, I itched for days. But, no they didn't help me a bit. I think it made me want to smoke more. At least when I was smoking I wasn't scratching.

i used the gum but people do use the patch as it puts nicotine in the body and prevents the craving.
