Smoking Cessation
"I have smoked for about 11 years. Quit cold turkey with each of my 3 pregnancies and had no issue. For some reason about 3-4 weeks after giving birth I was back to a pack a day. I tried the gum but didn&#039;t have success. It doesn&#039;t last in my system long enough and when a craving struck I couldn&#039;t pick up the gum, I picked up the car keys to get to the nearest gas station for a pack of smokes! So I decided to try the patch since it is a continuous stream of nicotine I thought maybe this would work better. I have zero physical symptoms. I still get that &quot;oh, I need a smoke now&quot; feeling but am better able to say no to it. I honestly didn&#039;t think it would work but it does! And the itching is unbearable! But only lasted about an hour for me."
