Nicotine Patches

Went to see the doc today as I want to quit this filthy habit, ciggies are the DEVIL! Have been smokin since I was 13 yrs old and ten years later i wish i hadnt started! My doc wouldnt give me patches as i requested but i have to go to a councelling group 2moro morning......''Hi, my names Chris and I'm a smoker''. Wtf! Ahh well Im sure it'll help.
My lil bros gf gave me a weeks worth of patches and i slapped one on about 4 hours ago and my arm is fuckin aching, feels kinda heavy like after a workout. Strange shit, i feel like i want a cig, but i dont. Im guessing im just craving the physical side of smoking. The lighting, holding etc. Weird shit. Well thats me, wish me luck!

Peace

I had the same problem with patches. They felt tight and made my arms ache. Didn't stop me smoking though. :(

Good luck anyway.

Sunflower seeds!?!?! Crazy shit, yup already biting my lips and am ploughing through the chewing gum. Feel like im on a knive edge at the mo. Havent had a cig for about 7 hours now, cant remember the last time i went so long without a drag on that sweet, sweet cancer stick!

Roll a joint up, and smoke that. This will alleviate some of the physical cravings; lighting, holding, and smoking a small, lit cylinder filled with burning vegetable matter.








You may also get high.

keep in there man. I started smoking at 14, smoked for about 5 months, realized how stupid it was, and it took me like a week to stop. but that week sucked ASS. You'll do it, just keep on toip of your game, work out, do whatever you need to do. Trust me, you don't want to end up like my grandfather (emphysema) or worse. fags'll be the death of 'ya. why do you think their called fags? :D You can do it, everyone's supportin' ya. Take some hits out the bong, you'll be good to go.

everytime you want a cancer stick, just smoke gods green grass instead, itll be so much better

man i feel you;. i too was thinking of quieting this shit. but i wasn't gonna mess with them fucking patches.

my plan is long but i hope it's a sure thing
this come newyears ill but start on "EASES off program"
it's where you find out how much Cigs you smoke in 1 day.
for every 2 days you take away 1 or 2 cigs untill the day you have none left.

i can only hope....... nasty habbit i know and so does everyone else who smokes.

I never tried the patches... but I have used the gum. it feels so different and unpleasant. Like I smoked a quater of a pack in one sitting.

I've tried herbal mouth sprays and the liquorice root sticks (chew on em, hold em like a cig)

a forced bad trip got me to stop smoking for a couple months, but I picked it back up.

hope you reach your goal :)

okay i think you should either:
*roll a joint EVERY time you crave a smoke. it'll get raelly expensive.. but im guessing after like a month or 2 of this, you will forget about ever wanting tobacco.
*or like someone said, sunflowerseeds. those are the best cuz therye small and fast to eat, lots of them, salty,, perfect to have

i need to do this, im gonna go get some patches tommarow and get on the wagon.

i have a friend that wears patches and smokes on them cause he likes the buzz...? hes crazy.

Just got back from councelling, thankfully it was one to one and the nurse was HOT! Ha ha ha!;) Got a months supply of 21mg patches, then go back after a month and have a chat with the lovely Debbie (nurse) and go onto a reduced dose. I was pretty worried as I've had the shits since I started using the patches yesterday, sucks big time! Nurse says its due to the withdrawel from fags and all the other shitty chems in them and should reside after a few days. I've bitten the fuck outta the insde of my mouth and lips and cant stop chewing gum and I feel like the Incredible Hulk on a whole mixture of class a's, I swear if someone says the wrong thing or gives me a funny look Im gonna snap like a loaded gun!!! Arggggghhhhh, why did I start the filthy habit!!??!:mad:

Peace

I hated the patch. I had the 24 hours patch, but the 1st time I left it on overnight I woke tup to an achy arm and a rash had started around the patch. Also didn't keep me from wanting to smoke, but it did keep me from killing someone.

i dont smoke so idk if it would work, but yo if i did id try this

cut a centemetter of all your butts in a pack, and when your finished with those cut 2 cm off the next ones, and so on and so on till your weaned off it

Ohhhhh dear....patches...oh no....tried and failed!

But i heard this morning that theres a new pill coming out in the new year to help you stop smoking(ready for the new year resolution)

Its supposed to be the best thing this century!!!!
Im gonna give it a look in

:dance:

good luck

i dont know about patches for me though they cost more than cigs so... lol

good luck!

My take on nicotine as a aid in quiting... No Fucking Good... why would anyone think breaking a nicotine habit with nicotine is a good Idea???

One of my friends died from wearing the patch. He had been wearing it for like six hours and forgot that it was on his arm, went outside for a smoke and ended up dieing from a heart attack. So eventually when I quit, I'll end up going cold turkey.

Dead serious, same thing happend to my mom's friend. I guess it's too much nicotine consumed during one time and it upsets your heart, causing a heart attack. That's why I'm scared to go on the patch, I'm somtimes a forgetful person and probably wouldn't remember something I put on my arm six hours ago.

a friend of mine rolled a bunch of joints and smoked one every time he wanted a cigarette. he ended up smoking 14 joints in on the third day, but after that he said it got a lot easier, and now he has been tobacco free for like 2 or 3 months i think. just get an oz of schwag and roll it all up and keep them in a cigarette box.

This would be my only problem, after I smoke bud I really crave a cigarette more often then usuall. So I'd end up smoking joint and joint until I ran out, then end up going back to cigarettes.

wintergreen lifesavers saved my ass... kinda cool the name is Lifesavers...LOLz...

These patches seem to be doing the trick, i not craving at all! Got the 21mg 24 hr patches. Only a slight ache now in my arm,but other than that seems to be going well! I know i can beat this shit!:D

Just read those posts about folk dieing with patches, never heard that before!I think ill take the risk....:confused:
