Nicoderm CQ (nicotine) for Smoking Cessation "I smoked for over 12 years and about 12-15 cigarettes a day and have attempted to stop many times. The only time I had truly stopped in the past was 7 years ago when I found out I was pregnant. After having the baby, I picked up right where I left off and began smoking again. I finally decided that I wanted to quit, and I have tried many avenues to include cold turkey and Chantix, and all didn't work. I finally picked up the box and read the instructions, and so far today it has been three weeks, and I have not once craved a cigarette. Many of my friends and coworkers smoke, and I am around this daily. I thought that seeing them smoke or being around them while they smoke would get me to crave one, but no. Very satisfied, thank you!!"

Nicotrol Inhaler (nicotine) for Smoking Cessation "I've been a smoker for 28 years and have been trying everything (patches, gum, etc.) to quit for 10 years. I started using the Nicotrol Inhaler a week ago and have not smoked one cigarette since. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to stop using the inhaler because of the side effects: extreme dizziness, fatigue, a spacey feeling, insomnia, and low blood pressure, and I've only been using two of the recommended six nicotine cartridges. Real shame, because I felt like it was starting to help me, and now I'll have to go cold turkey, which has never worked for me in the past."

Nicotrol Inhaler (nicotine) for Smoking Cessation "I was a smoker for almost 40 years, with occasional attempts at quitting with the nicotine patch/gum, cinnamon sticks, and cold turkey. None of those worked since I constantly craved a real cigarette. I've now been using the Nicotrol Inhaler for over 2 weeks. I am amazed; as soon as I start to crave a cigarette, I just grab the inhaler and take a few puffs; that ends that craving. Even when a canister is 'dead,' I still puff on it; it helps keep me on an even keel, having something in my mouth that I can puff on helps. I use 6 to 14 canisters a day, depending on both my stress and boredom levels, especially since some of my smoking was when I was bored. The only negative for me has been interrupted sleep, a small price to pay."

Nicotrol Inhaler (nicotine) for Smoking Cessation "Smoked cigs for 20 yrs and cigars for past 10 yrs. Until 2 months ago. Had tried to quit many times. My issue was breaking the habit. Last 2 month's several things have changed: I don't smell like smoke, I don't need to go outside to smoke, my smell and taste have returned. Saving money too. My ins covers the nicotrol inhaler ($408 per box). Sometimes the cartridge is empty or something is blocking air flow. The inhalor gave me headache first 4 weeks. Still dries my throat. Overall this inhaler has helped me quit. Getting to point cigar and cig smoke smell really bad and I no longer have a desire to smoke tobacco. Give it a try, once you are truly ready to quit."

Nicotrol Inhaler (nicotine) for Smoking Cessation "I smoked on average 1-2 packs a day for 15 years. When I was finally ready to quit, I used this. It took some getting used to, but it ended up working. I only used this for 2 weeks, and I was done. I quit in November of 1999 and am still not smoking. I am an RN, and trust me, I tell many coworkers and patients about this product and my success with it."

Nicotrol Inhaler (nicotine) for Smoking Cessation "I could not believe how drawing on the Nicotrol Inhaler felt like a real cigarette. I was able to finally quit by having this in my pocket and pulling it out just when absolutely needed. I used it for 2 days, and that was all I needed. I had smoked for 24 years, about a pack a day. I haven't smoked in 11 years."

Nicoderm CQ (nicotine) for Smoking Cessation "I smoked for 40 years, finally decided it was time to quit. I followed the instructions, exactly, stepping down to a lighter patch as time went on. I had a really bad headache the first few days, but I powered through anyway. It's now been six months since I quit. This product works !"

Nicoderm CQ (nicotine) for Smoking Cessation "I started smoking when I was 10 and started drinking when I was 15. I continued to smoke and drink and dope until I was 27, at which time I became a Christian and quit all three vices cold turkey. I believe I was able to do that because of my faith in the Lord. Due to a lot of pressures in my life, at age 34, I returned to all three vices once again. At age 44, I returned to my faith and wanted to quit again, I was coughing and easily became short of breath. I was able to quit for short periods of time, smoking more than not. At 49, I relapsed again and was doing all three. Then on 11-11-11, I quit drinking and doping, and shortly thereafter, I quit smoking with the help of nicotine patches, and I've been sober and smoke-free ever since. 8-17"

Nicoderm CQ (nicotine) for Smoking Cessation "Day 6 today using Nicoderm CQ, and I have to say I am very pleased. Since the first day, I don't feel the urge to smoke... now don't get me wrong, the 'want' is still there, but the 'need' is gone. I don't feel irritated or anxious, and I can make it through the day without a headache. I have been smoking for a little over 12 years and have tried and failed at quitting before. This patch has been (so far) the best quitting tool I've used. I highly recommend this product if you're serious about quitting. I feel amazing, and I am very happy with how this has been working for me so far. You got this!!!"

Nicorette (nicotine) for Smoking Cessation "I have been an 'on and off' smoker for 10 years. I quit for a long time, but due to a speed bump in life, I started back. I'm a closet smoker, but it was affecting my social life and all. Smoker's breath, house and car smelling like smoke. I had to have one. I started chewing the Nicorette Gum (4 mg). It is working wonders already! I also changed my lifestyle. Eating healthy, drinking more water, exercising, and trying to avoid triggers. I will win this fight. I never in my life thought I would be smoking cigarettes, but I'm going to take my life back from these things before they really kill me."

Nicoderm CQ (nicotine) for Smoking Cessation "The only thing I've tried that works. These patches are GREAT! I have no sensations at all. If you're a heavy smoker and really want to stop smoking, I recommend you use these. I will NEVER smoke again because of these patches. I also use the Nicotine Gum."

Nicotrol Inhaler (nicotine) for Smoking Cessation "I smoked for 47 years a pack to a pack and a half a day. On December 17, 2016 I quit smoking and started using Nicotrol Inhalers. I have not smoked a cigarette since. I have no desire to smoke but 2 years and 8 months later, I am still using the inhalers. Some time I feel guilty about it but my doctor says it's better than smoking cigarettes. I feel better than when I smoked cigarettes but I enjoy using these inhalers. They are expensive. I pay close to $200 a month but I think it's less than I paid for cigarettes. I do highly recommend the Nicotrol Inhalers because I feel like if I wanted to I could quit them. My friend totally quit with less than one box. I'm sure I will to if I ever decide too."

Nicoderm CQ (nicotine) for Smoking Cessation "I am 65 years old and have smoked since I was 16. I've been on the patch for two weeks. I have cravings daily, but jeez, I smoked for 49 years. I am committed to quitting smoking and have no intentions of failing. The cravings I have are easy to work through, I find something to occupy my mind for a few minutes. My plan is to use the patch for one month, and after that, my doctor and I have worked it out for me to go on Chantix for however long necessary. I have also cut back on my consumption of beer and coffee, and it has helped a lot. Good luck to all and stay strong."

Nicorette (nicotine) for Smoking Cessation "After two years of going off and on the nicotine patch, I attempted cold turkey. Six hours into my cold turkey attempt, my husband informed me he was going to mow the lawn. My completely uncalled-for hyper-emotional response was to burst into tears. Needless to say, I didn't respond well to the cold turkey attempt. After completely giving up the idea of quitting, my sister informed me that she was succeeding using nicotine gum, so I gave it a try. Two weeks after starting, I am smoke-free and have zero doubt that I will succeed! The gum takes a few days to get used to. Make sure to read the directions and follow them to a T. You're not supposed to chew this gum like regular gum. If you do, it will make you nauseous and burn your throat."

Nicoderm CQ (nicotine) for Smoking Cessation "Quit smoking for almost 6 years, and one day out of nowhere, and for no reason, I was CRAVING a cigarette, and it wasn't long until I was back up to a pack a day. :( Every pack I bought, every cigarette I smoked made me feel so gross, yet my mind kept telling me I needed it. Opted to try the patch, free with my health insurance. Just finished my first day, and it was pretty smooth, stressful at work, and hung out with a coworker on lunch while she smoked, and I was almost gagging! Icky, icky, icky! But not once did I want to smoke! I'm confident it is working. It's the CVS brand, and it sticks pretty well. Took it off to shower and popped it right back on. After reading reviews and going through the information insert, I'm worried about sleeping and having weird dreams, lol. Hopefully, it won't be too bad, small price to pay as opposed to continuing to smoke. I do have moments where I go into autopilot and I reach for a pack that isn't there, and I think, 'oh yeah, I don't smoke,' and I just go back to what I was doing. Last time I quit, I went through a few weeks of really bad anxiety, and I haven't had any episodes or any feelings of anxiety. Just waiting for time to pass. :) Will be on step 1 for 6 weeks and down to step 2 for 4 weeks, and step 3 for 1 week I think. Tomorrow I need to spray my car down 'cause the smell makes me sick to my stomach! Excited to smell good again!"

Nicoderm CQ (nicotine) for Smoking Cessation "Four years ago, I decided to quit smoking. I bought the patch, step 1. The first week on the patch, I smoked maybe two cigarettes. After that, I was done. My only issue now (four years later) is that I'm still on the patch. I'm addicted to the patch. I cut it in half and put it on every morning. It's an expense I can live without, but if I don't use it, I'm a mess. I feel unfocused, tired, hungry. I guess it's a healthier addiction than smoking, but not sure what I'm doing to my body."

Nicoderm CQ (nicotine) for Smoking Cessation "Just finished my 10 weeks on the Nicoderm CQ program and am proud to say I have not slipped up once. I have to admit that it was one of the hardest things I have done, but it was all worth it. Everything tastes and smells so much better, that in itself is worth quitting for. I smoked and used smokeless tobacco for about 13 years. If I can do it, anyone can."

Nicotrol Inhaler (nicotine) for Smoking Cessation "I smoked for 38 years and knew I would need some type of hand-to-mouth gesture for a nicotine replacement in order to quit. I have been smoke-free now for five months. No withdrawal symptoms at all. I am surprised! Great product!"

Nicotrol Inhaler (nicotine) for Smoking Cessation "I tried it, and I found that you could cheat with the product, but I finally decided to give it all up. I have been smoke-free for 16 years now and enjoy smelling and tasting the real things in life. I don't miss smoking at all, and I was a pack a day or more."

Nicorette (nicotine) for Smoking Cessation "I just want to say thanks for the nicoderm patch. I smoked for 44 years and it's been six months since my last cigarette, if it wasn't for the patch I don't believe I could have quit. I know I will never have another cigarette because I sure don't want to quit twice. The patch wasn't magic but along with willpower and determination the patch made a huge difference and it was my time to quit. I did find that I couldn't sleep with it on as the dreams were too much for me so I didn't wear it at night. 5 weeks was all I needed and I can honestly say that I am a non-smoker! Thanks so very much Nicoderm."

Nicoderm CQ (nicotine) for Smoking Cessation "I smoked for 20 years and decided to quit. As these are relatively pricey, I did not purchase the entire program up front (I think it is 8 or 10 weeks?). Rather, I bought one box of Step 1 and one box of Step 2. Well, I'm so glad because I ended up only using the Step 1 box and half of Step 2. (Used a total of 11 days.) It was just that easy to quit. I just had to find something to do with my hands the first few days. I got busy at work and realized after several days that I hadn't been remembering to put a patch on in the morning...and IT DIDN'T MATTER! I was FREE after 20 years and never got a craving again (5 years smoke-free). I delayed quitting due to all the horror stories people tell about quitting. DON'T LISTEN! YOU CAN DO IT!"

Nicoderm CQ (nicotine) for Smoking Cessation "I'm 26 years old. I've been smoking since I was 18. I don't know why or how, I just picked it up to look cool. Now, at 26, after many chest pains, anxiety attacks, and stomach aches, I know 100,000% it was me smoking that was causing me all those things! It's been one full week, and after many nicotine gums, hookah pens, all of that, I can honestly say this patch is a blessing! I have not had anxiety from not smoking, not one chest pain. This patch is amazing!! Works wonders. I started on step 2! I highly recommend this to anybody who wants to stop smoking! It's also willpower, everybody! Good luck, save your body while you can!"

Nicoderm CQ (nicotine) for Smoking Cessation "On day six now and didn't smoke but was a can-a-day dipper for over 20 years. Don't worry that people are talking about it falling off, I'm in construction in the heat in Florida all day, and it sticks. I know it helps. Weird dream thing going on, yes, get a taste of nicotine all day, and the initial itch, yep, got that too. But what I haven't had is a dip of Copenhagen. Thanks, Nicoderm."
