"These patches are a joke. Don't even know if they work. They won't stay on. I shaved the spots I put them on, washed the area, and even used alcohol wipes to clean the area. Dried the area, applied, and as soon as I get to working, they fall right off."

"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."

"I wanted to quit vaping and decided to use the Nicoderm patch. They do not stick to the 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 hell of a lot cheaper. I give Nicoderm a thumbs down."

"While the patches do work, first you have to find one that will stick to your skin. After cleaning, wiping with alcohol, and still wasting 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 expensive."

"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 Nicoderm CQ clear patch. I guess I have better luck quitting cold turkey than to have to waste my patches when they do not stick!!"

"I have tried the patch several times. However, my problem with the patch is that when I perspire at work, the patch no longer stays stuck to my skin and falls off."

"The patches do not stay on. I pay $30 for a box of 7 patches, and they stay on for 20 minutes if you're lucky! Absolutely pathetic excuse of a product."
