nicotine patches have liquid nicotine in them, cigarettes have a lot less nicotine in them.  Taping  tobacco onto your skin will do nothing for you.

I am currently trying to quit smoking myself. It is the hardest thing I have ever done!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been using the patch to help with the cravings, but the adhesive on them is giving me a rash, and they don't stay put very well. I can honestly say that any of the remedies out on the market will help, the small amount of medication contained in them is extremely safe compared to the toxic chemicals found in cigarettes. You might think that I am insane, but I printed a book off of the internet called "Never take another Puff", it really opened my eyes on alot of things about smoking. You can get it by going to nevertakeanotherpuff.com. I also do a little exercise that I saw discussed on an episode of Oprah, every time I see my reflection in a mirror, a window etc... I say to myself...I AM NOT A SMOKER, SMOKERS ARE DISGUSTING, THEY SMELL BAD...ETC. I AM A BEAUTIFUL ___________ (fill in gender)and BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE DO NOT SMOKE. It sounds silly, but it does give you a boost of will power. Just don't give up the fight. The average smoker will attempt 7 times to quit before kicking the habit, I am on my 3rd...lol Good luck and I will say a prayer for you, peace.

Nicotine is a short-acting drug that is eliminated from the body relatively quickly (i.e., within a day or so). However, the effects of acute nicotine withdrawal can be felt for as much as two weeks or more. In addition, the byproducts of nicotine can be detected in the blood for up to a month after you stop smoking. This is only of concern if you are in a situation where someone else might want to test you for the presence of nicotine or nicotine byproducts in your system. \n\nMost people can quit "cold turkey" without any ill effects other than feeling irritable, restless, and craving cigarettes. However, if you have any medical condition for which you are (or should be) receiving treatment, it's a good idea to check with your doctor first. He or she can also support your efforts to quit and discuss nicotine replacement options if you choose to slowly wean yourself off nicotine. \n\nI pasted this article that may help answer your question. Good Luck!

I quit for almost 2 years now. I used the patch and the pill both! I quit on the 12th of may and my dad died on the 16th, everyone knew I'd start back smoking but that only made me stronger because he always lectured me about it. I am so proud of myself!! I still want one sometimes but I really feel better, gained 30 pounds but I feel better!

I am not sure about the patch thing- but quiting smoking is a big step all together. I knew an instructor that changed cigerette brands first to the ones that are just pure nix. first- therefore when you quit smoking all together you're only getting the nix. out of  your system- rather then ALL THE ADDICTIVE SUBSTANCES they have now a days in cigerettes/ tobacco products. After that- there all herbs, etc. to take to help stop tobacco useage. Find a local herbalist and they can set you up a plan.

Make a bet with a few different people and put the money in a glass jar that you will save every day. Keep gum and or toothpicks to keep your mouth busy and try not to be around any one who smokes for at least the first two weeks. Change your habits, if you have to smoke when you drink, don't drink for a while, and stay away from bars and places where a lot of people smoke. If you always smoke as soon as you wake up, try sometype of light excercise instead. I wish I could tell you it's easy, but we all know that quitting smoking is one of the hardest things to do. I quit seven years ago cold turkey from 2 and1/2 packs a day and have not had one since. I told everyone I knew and no one bellieved me, so I did it to spite them and prove to myself I could. I had tried the patch and gum prior to that, but nothing worked until I really decided I wanted to quit. Be strong and everytime you get the urge, just remember why you're quitting. Congrats on making a life changing decision and I wish you the best of luck.

Cold turkey. I did and yesterday was my 3 year anniversary with no smoking. My sister has tried with the patches and gum, but since it keeps giving you nicotine, she can't quit that way. It really isn't that hard to stop on your own, the cravings will stop after four or five days. Have confidence in yourself!

I have been using the patch for 2 months now. It hurts my arm or leg or whatever part of my body I place it on. It is normal. You are just getting doses of nicotine periodically and it is starting at the site of the patch. Hope that helps. Good luck on your non smoking!! Im proud of you!!

Yes!\n\nNicorette\nFrom Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia\n\nNicorette is a branded over-the-counter palliative treatment which is used to ameliorate the withdrawal effects involved in quitting smoking. Originally available as a patch for topical application, it was later made available as a chewing gum (composed of nicotine polacrilex) and even an inhaler. All these products contain nicotine as the active ingredient and work by delivering this into the bloodstream.\n\nAlternative brand names include Prostep®, Habitrol® Nicotrol®, and Nicoderm®.

Has to be prescribed by your doctor...but most physicians have lots of free samples, tell him/her you want to quit smoking & you will most likely not have to pay for it!
