Nicotine patches or any other nicotine product for the use of stopping smoking leaves you still addicted to NICOTINE! There is a product out now that uses Cystine to control the urges....I am beginning on this product tomorrow, son started this morning. Will keep posted as to how it works.
It worked for me: 1. One must really want to stop smoking. Without it, no need to bother in trying to stop smoking. 2. for a first week I used nicorette patches, drank molases, ACV, 3. The first day without patch I was very nervous unable to concentrate,... So I cut a patch in half and used it for few hours and before bed time watched- listened a DVD with hypnosis: Stop smoking (English author it costed 5 EUR). 4. I socialize with smokers mostly, and they dont bother me at all.
