smoking while on the nicotine patch

Tweet

i just started the nicotine patch 2 days ago. however, i still smoke a few cigs a day. was wondering if anyone who has been on it knows like when it kicks in to the point where you wont smoke? i know it's a few weeks course, and i know most of the dangers that come with smoking and being on the patch... but i was just curious to learn more from people that have been on it. also, if you have any ideas on how to deal with not smoking at work, when 98% of your coworkers smoke, and even the non smokers sit outside at break time. i have a hard time with that so far. i'd sit inside, but then i would be by myself, and well i don't want to seclude myself from everyone, i also would like to sit outside and enjoy it. i have my coworkers support in quitting smoking, i just need more will power i guess. but if anyone has any suggestions please let me know!! thanks. p.s... don't leave me any comments on "you just need to quit, or smoking is bad"
