I'd Heard A Little Bit About Nicotine Patches When They First Became Widely Available About 10 Or 15 Years Ago. Though I Never Tried Nicotine Patches For Myself Back Then, I Knew Several People Who Did. Some Of Them, Like The Friend I Mentioned, Were Able To Quit Smoking For Good. Others, However, Weren't As Successful And Went Back To Smoking Shortly After Giving Up On Nicotine Patches. I Certainly Didn't Want To Fail In My Bid To Quit, So I Resolved To Gather As Much Information About Nicotine Patches As Possible Before Purchasing Them. I Wanted To Know What I Was Getting Into So I Could Better Prepare Myself For The Tough Road Ahead.I Logged Onto The Internet To Read About Other People's Experiences With Nicotine Patches In The Hopes That I Could Learn A Thing Or Two From Their Successes And Failures. I Also Went To The Homepages Of Companies That Manufactured Nicotine Patches To See What Kind Of Tips They Had For People That Wanted To Quit Smoking. The More I Read, The More I Realized That I Wasn't Going To Be Able To Just Slap Nicotine Patches On My Arm For A Month To Wean Myself Off Cigarettes. I Would Have To Approach Quitting With A Comprehensive Plan.Once I Used Those Web Resources To Come Up With A Personalized Quitting Plan, I Was Ready To Purchase Some Nicotine Patches. While I Was Looking For Smoking Cessation Tips, I Came Across Quite A Few Websites That Offered Huge Discounts On Nicotine Patches. I Went Back To One Of Those Sites And Was Able To Get An Unbelievable Deal On A Month's Supply. Once The Nicotine Patches Arrived In The Mail, I Enjoyed One Final Smoke And Prepared To Embark On A Whole New Lifestyle.I've Been Using Nicotine Patches For Two Weeks So Far And Haven't Had A Cigarette In All That Time. My Cravings Haven't Disappeared Entirely, But They Are Definitely More Manageable Now Than In The Past When I Tried To Quit Cold Turkey. I Feel Good About My Efforts So Far And Really Think That I'll Be Able To Kick The Habit For Good This Time.
