Clear Nicotine Patches Step 1 21mg, Pack of 14 (2 Weeks) | Stop or reduce smoking or vaping, for 10+ cigarettes daily, clear patch with 24-hour craving control

I was smoking 20 plus a day and tried various ways to quit smoking in the past, After reading reviews saying this was a good product to help you stop smoking I was a bit skeptical but after reading reviews saying this does work I thought id give it a go. Please note that these patches do work and you will also need will power too help you too I did on occasion felt the urge to smoke but kept myself occupied and the urge was gone. A lot of people said these patches do not stick and come off your arm but the best place to put these patches on is on the inside of your arm and they stay on I only had one patch that come loose and dried up cos I placed the patch where I have a lot of hair on my arm rather on the inside where I have hardly any hair. You can sleep with these patches on they did help me by not having morning urges for a smoke the only downside I found by doing this was it took me forever to fall asleep and my sleeping pattern was all over the place id wake up in the middle of the night & couldn't go back to sleep this was the hardest part especially as I have to get up early for work, Also you do tend to have some weird dreams or think of things you wouldn't normally do lol you will also start to have headaches as your body starts to change after day 6 I removed my patch at bedtime as I really need to have a good night sleep and slept like a baby the following morning the first thing I did was put a new patch on as did not want to be tempted to buy a pack of ciggrettes and let all the hard work go down the drain the first few days are really hard but you will get used to it. As I write this review I am on day 8 and I have never felt better health wise I have found to have regained my sense of taste and smell and my morning breathe has improved so much it was really bad before. I would recommend this product but you will also need to use your will power too.

These work! They will not stick to natural skin oil so ensure that you wash or wet wipe the area first and thoroughly dry, I place mine to the side of my ribs and it will stay on all through the day and even in the shower, no need for tape like other reviews. Do not recommend sleeping with one on, strange dreams!

Excellent when used correctly! Step 1: Wash and shave the area you're applying to! Get all that dead skin off! Step 2: Apply the patch, give it a slap! Step 3: Buy some Athletics tape (Kinesiology tape), cut a strip, round off the edges, bang it over the top. It's expensive (£9), but lasts months, and you won't be wasting patches. Didn't stick? Wash yourself better ya dirty pog! Replace the tape, and try again. Warning: May cause lucid dreams, if you start having wicked dreams and don't like them, take the patch off on a night, though having a patch on over night helped with my morning cravings. May cause skin irritation, obviously, you're absorbing nicotine through your skin, with tape on your arm 24/7, suck it up, and move it around daily. Don't forget, this is a stop smoking AID, it's not a magical fix, if you're not ready to quit, it's not going to stop you smoking, that being said, this is a fantastic way to help cut down, hardest part is the habit of smoking, using it as a reward for tasks, my advice, have a move around of furniture, fresh start ;) Goodluck, and enjoy being able to breath!

So I had difficulty getting these to stay on, the edges want to peel up. Reasonably easy to use. Although not recommended I found the best place for them was the inside of my forearm, as the skin there isn't rubbing on clothes or anything. A bit of tape helps keeping it on. Can just put the tape all the way around the arm, then it definitely won't come off. Just don't do it tight or it'll be uncomfortable. I only used these for three days, as by the third day the amount of nicotine was seriously affecting my balance. It is a lot of nicotine. You may want to go with a lighter patch if you're not a heavy smoker or vaping high nicotine liquid. Sleep quality was impacted by the vivid dreams, but I liked that. Very interesting dreams. In terms of value for money they are competitive with other patches I suppose. Only giving it a four star due to the issues with the patches coming loose. Others suggest surgical tape etc that would probably be a good idea. I just used regular tape because I had some. Havent had any nicotine in over 70 days since using these. That is mostly willpower though. They were helpful in getting nicotine whilst having time away from smoking and vaping. Good luck on your quitting journey. Also, if you feel flat for weeks after, that's normal when stopping nicotine, keep going it does get better.

With some willpower, these can definitely help you get off vaping/smoking. Immediately they noticeably reduce cravings. The first challenge is to then entirely put down the vape/cigarettes for good. For me I was quite comfortable on the strong patches for the 6 weeks advised. When I reduced to the medium patch, there was some slight discomfort/cravings for a couple of days, and the same with the transition to the weakest step 3 patch. It is advisable to reduce strength at an opportune time, perhaps when stress and cravings are their lowest. The hardest part was going patch free and therefore nicotine free entirely, the cravings and withdrawal were quite strong, and it required some serious willpower to get through the first two days. Once I got to the third day I felt ok. If it wasn't for the knowledge that I had gone 10 weeks through a patch program I would have definitely relapsed onto the vape. Be prepared for those couple of days at the end!

I've smoked for 30yrs and have tried lots of ways to stop without success. For this latest attempt I figured I'd try patches because they're the one thing I've never used. I opted for this pack because it's the biggest I could find and because the nicotine content is 21mg which is essentially the same amount as is absorbed by the body from a full pack of 20 cigarettes . I read the reviews on here before making the purchase and noted the comments about them being not very sticky. I then bought a pack of sticky bandages, because I had a cunning plan... My patches arrived and, after smoking my last cigarette, I stuck a patch on. I shaved a small area at the top of my arm and stuck my first patch on... it fell off 20 minutes later. I stuck the same patch back on but this time I wrapped the sticky bandage around it to keep it in place, I then got down to the serious business of regretting buying patches as I missed cigarettes instantly! The following day I moved my patch to the top of my forearm as I hadn't got on very well with the patch on the top of my arm. Sadly this wasn't ideal either as I used my dominant arm which, obviously, is used more than the weaker one and so, on the third day, the patch was shifted to my left arm, only this time I opted for an area just above the wrist, and that's what has worked since. I now routinely apply the patch and then instantly wrap the stretchy bandage over it to keep it in place. I've had no issues since. The patch stays in situ and the bandage ensures it doesn't fall off when the muscles in my arm move. I've not found it too difficult so far and am hopeful that the 17th time is the charm... there are cravings, obviously, but I've found that I miss the process of smoking more than the actual act. My body is getting the nicotine it wants but I miss the routine of going outside and doing the things I usually do (did) - that part is an easy fix and so now, when the mood strikes me, I take myself outside and stare aimlessly at my phone for around 7 minutes or so, and that tricks my brain into thinking that there's nothing wrong. I'm writing this on day six, so it's very early days yet, but I'm confident of success and have no intention of going back. The program is designed to ween us off of Nicotine over 10 weeks, it sounds like a long time but it's really not. I'd love to say that I'll save the money I would have spent so I can buy myself something awesome after ten weeks, but I'm married, with two children, and I'll be lucky if I get a Chinese takeaway out of this deal, but I might not die as quickly, possibly, so that's nice. ***UPDATE*** I can't remember when I wrote the original review but my wife tells me it's now 11wks since I last smoked... Blimey. Basically I used the first box as directed. I bought the second box but as I was forgetting to change the patch by up to 24hrs I decided to see if I needed them, and I didn't! No cravings, no nothing, just hundreds of pounds per month better off! The patches are mega!

Excellent value
