Has anyone succeeded in quitting using nic patches and did you have to change your lifestyle as well. I have been using them off and on. I find that you can cut down alot and I went almost a year without smoking but I was also in a fitness group at the time.Has anyone been able to just quit and not change thier lifestyle???

I've heard of those. How do they work exactly and where do you get them from?

I'd be wary of the electronic cigarettes. Here in the states about 2 months ago, one blew up while a guy was using it. Blew his teeth out and part of his tongue as well. It also caught the room on fire. They say it was a faulty battery.

Exactly!! I asked myself the same thing. I am flooding my system with nicotine and then when the patch becomes irritating and itchy and take it off hours later the cravings start up again!!!

12 Years that's fantastic!! I picked up a brochure on it a few months ago. Did you have to go to a number of sessions or was it just the once?

First one worked for 9 months,until I hit a stressful day in the Office. Bought 10 just to relief the tension and ended up smoking again.

2nd. session was much stronger yet I started again [after a year] Met up with an ex and he didn't smoke so I just stubbed it out and haven't looked back.It really is a case of mind over matter,but I still think that the therapy is better than patches which actually made me ill.
