1st time using these patch fell of before I was ready to remove i
3 stages of these and 2 were sufficient. Would never have believed they would make giving up so easy
I have put myself on step 3 now ,not gonna lie a lot of willpower is needed but the patches definitely help that I haven’t smoked for 5 weeks I have smoked for 57 years ni
Works well and easy to apply. Does not peel off unnecessarily
I’m very addicted to nicotine and wanted to quit recently. I struggled a fair amount the first couple of days but now I’m coping okay. They have helped me a lot because usually I’d get agitated very easily but with this I haven’t bee
Using to help cut down on smoking before quitting, I like the fact they are 24 hour so I don’t wake up craving a cigarette as I did with the nicorette patches as they are only 16 hour not 24. Only reason for taking a star off is they don’t seem to stick as well as expected but that may just be me
Burnt right through my skin, weeping and blistered. Not happy
My new year resolution is going great, these have me quitting (vape is helping to) the price tag is AMAZING compared to tobacco.. roll on healthier days and higher savings
Put my first patch on yesterday morning and second today. Managed to go from a 40 a day habit to 1 roll up a day when paired with gum and no nicotine vape. Already feel a lot better and richer!!!!
The patches are doing their job. I have went from being a 20 or more a day. Now I don’t have the urge to smoke after just 2weeks. I won’t say it’s easy but the patches along with will power do help.
Exactly what you would expect and does the job perfectly. Only reason I haven’t given it 5 stars is due to the delay after delay or receiving the goods. To be fair to the seller, they sorted the issue out very quickly after I raised it.
From the title u can probably tell its not been a long time. However this is the first time using patches of any kind and have smoked for 17 years. First time WITHOUT the aid of any other nicotine product.
I can honestly say if this product has gotten me through 48 hours without snapping at anyone or severely craving a cig – it will work for anymore.
Willpower needed obviously but I feel there are only “now and then” moments that I want to smoke but it passes very quickly. Full 24 craving support! And sticks on very well, even showered with one on.
I used to smoke 50 Red Marlboro every day, and I had done so for slightly over 30 years.
For health reasons, I had no choice but to give up (well, I did have another option, which was an imminent death), so I needed something that would actually work.
My solution was this (it may not work for you but it did for me, and you can take it or leave it as you wish):
21 mg (Step 1) patches from Nicotinell on 24 hours per day even when sleeping (this is fine for this make of patches) – this eliminated the basic constant craving for me, plus…
Lozenges from another company (I assume Nicotinell make their own but I haven’t tried them) – I started with the 4 mg mint ones but within around 4 weeks switched to the 2 mg mint ones and then the 2 mg fruit ones – these are to be popped whenever a sudden craving takes hold of you (but not more than directed on the packet).
Doing this double-pronged strategy allowed me not only to completely stop but also never to miss it.
As I say, take it or leave it but if you actually want to stop then you might try it.
Best of luck; you won’t regret giving up.
N.B. I note from some reviews that it says that these do not stick well. I have never found this to be true – they stick very well (you can even have a bath with them on and they stay on) provided that you stick them on first thing and hold them in place for a count of 20 (it will probably work with less than a 20 count but that’s what I always do) on a place with minimal hair and some muscle; my preference is to stick them to the upper muscle of the outside of the arm, and alternate arms each day.
These are one of the best tools to use to aid in lucid dreaming, (I’m also trying to quit smoking and they have stopped my cravings for two plus weeks) however I had multiple vivid dreams last night, it was like watching a movie and it felt like it was hours long.
(I have started using the patches during sleep) combine these with lucid dream techniques and soon you’ll be having hour long lucid dreams and the potential is unlimited for self improvement.
You can overcome fears, improve skills, fly, visit mars and walk through walls in your lucid dreams, some have even got messages and talked to past loved ones. It really depends on what you want to do. You are what you think so be kind to yourself and if you have nightmares just embrace them with your arms and say I love you and you can overcome past trauma. You are essentially facing your fears and giving yourself self love, which I believe we all need in this day and age. Why waste your sleeptime to a dreamless 8 hours when you can practice self improvement on steroids in your subconscious.
Read the books and rediscover what it’s like to lucid dream!
Happy dreaming (and quitting smoking) 😉
I have been using the ecig on and off with these but havent had a cigarette for a week and haven’t had a craving to either.
The ecig I haven’t been using often either but felt it was a way to ease off the habit.
Loving the lucid dreams. They are in real time and full colour. Crazy but amazing.
So yes these work! Just about to buy my next pack of patches now. Still have 15cigs in a pack ill bin next week. Never want to smoke agai
Wow! These are amazing…they have completely taken away my cravings for a cigarette I’m actually astonished! Tried everything but these are a gem. The only problem I would say is they take away the craving to have one but its the HABIT of not having one that’s the hardest to stop and for the stickiness I find pop in them on my ribs just under my breast is where its best. Hidden and stays in place all day and night. Well recommended
Working for me, I smoked appx 15 a day, I brought a pack of cigs just before these arrived and have not smoked one since applying patch, I did feel to smoke one before bed last night but it past and I fell asleep without so have just past 24 hours which is pretty amazing to me. I have had no problems with it not sticking and took off before I went to sleep because if weird reviews about dreams…. although I would be lying if I said I wasn’t interested in seeing what these dreams are about.
Edit ok so curiosity got the best of me and I fell asleep with one the dreams are weird and real, I didn’t mind but you wake up every hour or so too which caused me to take off. But now I’m sure to remove before bed, I no longer wake up but my dreams are weird all the time now.
I’ve smoked since I was 16 but decided to quit when I was 35 so I started to use e cigs, in 2018 I decided to give up the e cigs to use patches and lozenges. These are truly a god send. Don’t let any of the negative reviews put you off using these, they work just as well if not better than other brands, the adhesive is better than other brands and I don’t get any allergic reaction to the adhesive ingredients. I am still addicted to nicotine but compared to smoking or using e cigs which were bad for my asthma these are much healthier and curb my craving for nicotine. To anyone who says they don’t work, you still need will power to not light up so if you use lozenges alongside the patches your cravings will be dramatically reduced.
