For Smoking Cessation "Whenever I apply the nicaderm patch I have no cravings, I've finish the 8 weeks program now my cravings are back. As long as I wear the patch I am good but I can't wear it forever, so what can I do next? The gum make me sick"

For Smoking Cessation "So I have smoked for about I'd say 22 years out of my 35 years. In the first 5 years I probably would only have a couple to a few cigarettes a day and then for the last 10 years. I smoked about half a pack to a pack a day +. I have terrible oral fixation problems and other compulsive oral habits. I decided to try the patch to stop this. I have tried vaping in the past I've tried the gum neither of these substitutes are good for me. The day I put on the patch, I had no hope of it actually working, but I was at the end of a pack, and by the end of that day I had my son throw away all but one in the pack, and I smoked that last cigarette and knew that I didn't need them anymore. Life had been stressful and I had been sick. I never thought I could quit when I was feeling like this. But it's honestly been the best thing for my confidence and improvement of my life right now. It's been 11 days, and I can't even believe it. I plan on doing step one for four weeks, then step 2 and step 3 for 2 weeks each. Thanks Nicoderm CQ!"

For Smoking Cessation "While the patches do work , first you have to find one that will stick to your skin, After cleaning , wiping with alcohol and still wasted 4 patches trying to find more that sticks , finally put them all on duct tape and stuck them on my arm. Buy Off Shelf Brand as NicoDerm is too expansive"

For Smoking Cessation "Man if I was able to quit anybody can. I smoked 2 packs a day (50 cigarettes a day) for 5 years. Finally after trying to go cold turkey and failing so many times I decided to give the patch a try at 21 years old. My grandma and mom swore by it. It was still difficult and I had a few withdrawal symptoms at the start but it was 20x easier than cold turkey. Just be sure to follow the instructions and timeline and you will be successful."

For Smoking Cessation "I wanted to quit vaping and decided to use Nicoderm patch. They do not stick to skin well. After paying $37.98 plus taxes for a 7-day box... you shouldn't have to go out and buy some medical tape for a patch that's supposed to stick to your skin in the first place. The patch itself is thick and doesn't bend with the natural movements of a person's body. I think a generic brand will work just as well, be more pliable, and a lot cheaper. I give Nicoderm a thumbs down."

For Smoking Cessation "The patch will not stick to my skin! I shave and clean the area before I put the patch on and I hold it for 15 seconds instead of 10 seconds as it tells you to do on the package! I am very unhappy with the Nico derm cq clear patch. I guess I have a better luck quitting cold turkey than to have to waste my patches when they do not stick!!!!!!!!!"
