I don’t get it. It’s kinda like you got to want to quit but at the same time yeah quitting is already hard for me. But I’m supposed to put it on me and somehow I get a form of nicotine without smoking. It’s like how am I supposed to get used to it. I will even take the patch off try to save it for later just so I can have a cigarette. But yeah I think taking it off might actually ruin it. I read the instructions a little bit but yeah the whole nicotine patches last 24 hours and you shouldn’t put it on more than 24 hours. So I really don’t know if nicotine patches do anything especially since I enjoy smoking.

    In the UK, the ads for these patches also say “requires willpower”. From what you’ve written, it sounds like that’s the part of the process you need to find in you. Good luck!

      Yep. There’s no pain free solution to halting an addiction. You only stop when you really want to.
