That's great. I found that the patches were consistent dosage. They only varied in size. I bought a step 1 box with 14 patches. Used 7 full strength and cut the other 7 into ⅓ and ⅔. Second week was ⅔ and third was ⅓ size. At the end of the third week I just quit.

Good luck. Feel free to message me if you need support

Well done OP,congrats.keep it up.

Smoking is a pretty terrible habit. We have enough pollution getting into our lungs anyway.

Smokers invade our airspace, don't they? And you know what happens when you're in someone's airspace? You get shot at.😂

I'm glad to hear you took a great step. Addiction costs health and money. If it feels difficult to quit cigerettes alone, you can purchase nicotine replacement or see a doctor. This needs some money but it will save a lot in a long span.

FANTASTIC!

I am so VERY proud of you!

I have had too many folks around me smoke, always were going to quit, and ALL wound up with lung cancer.

I know that cancer does not have to have a person smoking to strike, I had gall bladder cancer, HOWEVER adding jet fuel to the fire is not too smart.

I had 1 cigarette in the summer of 1977, woke up the next morning with a sore throat, stuffy nose and said never ever again.

The state that I live in here in the U.S., the cost of a pack of cigs is now around $12.50 per pack (USD)!

Hats off to you, lots of loving and caring thoughts and YOU ARE FANTASTIC!!!!!

Walter
