You start with the highest level of medicine and gradually step down your dose. What is the NicoDerm CQ Patch and how is it used? NicoDerm CQ is a small, nicotine-containing patch. When you put on a NicoDerm CQ patch, nicotine passes through the skin and into your body. NicoDerm CQ is very thin and uses special material to control how fast nicotine passes through the skin. Unlike the sudden jolts of nicotine delivered by cigarettes, the amount of nicotine you receive remains relatively smooth throughout the 24 or 16 hour period you wear the NicoDerm CQ patch. This helps to reduce cravings you may have for nicotine. >

Didn’t even upwrap – saw the list of chems and backed off. Better to read a book i figured. Sure did and it worked. Read Richard Craze’s The Voice of Tobacco and see what he has to say about patches.

The Nicoderm product is not bad but it made me a bit jittery. I got a bit nervous that it could affect my blodd pressure so I stopped. Everybody reacts differently I guess. My friend did stop smoking completely because of it though.

I’ve tried to quit countless times in the past, each time convincing myself I could do it without any help. Countless times I was wrong.
About a month ago I decided it was time to quit for good and chose “the patch” as the method I would use. So far so good.
What people need to realize is dependance on smoking consists of two things: addiction and habit.
Everyone talks about the addiction. Your body grows dependent on nicotine, which causes a great deal of the pain and suffering you go through when you attempt to quit. People seem less concerned about the habit your body develops when it comes to the actual act of smoking.
I smoked for 10 years and smoked approximately a pack a day. That means my body became used to me going through the motions of smoking 20 times a day. Thinking about it even further, that’s 70 times a week, 7,300 times a YEAR. So I went from going through the act of smoking over 70,000 times in a ten year span to zero. Your body is going to try and reject that. Couple that with your nicotine withdrawal and your body is at war with your willpower.
The patch won’t make you go “Hey, I don’t need cigarettes ever again!” Your body will most likely still want them. The difference will be that your nicotine withdrawal will take a lot less of a toll on your body. The Nicoderm Step 1 patches are to be used for six weeks for someone who smokes a pack or more a day. Part of this is to control the nicotine addiction, but a larger part of it is to help divert your will to quit smoking towards making sure you stop yourself from the actual act of smoking. You have to break the habit before you can break the addiction.
The ONLY issue I have with these patches is the marks it leaves on the skin. They’re reminiscent of the outline a bandage leaves when it has been on your skin for an extended period of time. This can be remedied with an astringent and a cotton ball, so it’s not horrendous.

As a resident of Cook County, Illinois, I take great delight in purchasing nicotine patches through Amazon – not only do the local Democratic party machine hacks forfeit my would-have-been cigarette tax, but also whatever sales tax they might have garnered were I to purchase Nicoderm at my local Walgreens. The Nicoderm patch is the only way by which I have been able to quit smoking – after smoking more than 250,000 of them, the habit was rather ingrained. If you haven’t tried the patch yet, stop being stubborn and pick up a fresh, delicious box of Nicoderm – and avoid the Mafioso Chicago Vice Taxes by purchasing them here at Amazon!
