Review of NiQuitin CQ CQ Step 1 Patches

Only joking! This is a very serious subject. Ingredients for giving up smoking - whatever method works best for you = 5%, willpower and determination 95% I was desperate to give up smoking, I was tired of the same old thing day after day, I'd wake each morning and the first thought I'd have is to have a cigarette. If you wake in the middle of the night, you get up and have a fag, knowing full well that nicotine is a stimulant and will keep you ...
...the habit? They say giving up smoking is harder than giving up Heroin. And let's face it, nicotine is a drug. I refused to admit that I was a drug user, and I'm sure all smokers who only smoke think the same way, but as a reformed smoker, ex-smoker, now non-smoker, whatever you wish to call me, I can speak frankly, honestly, openly and truthfully. I grew up in a household where my mother smoked for years. She knew that the effects of smoking could ...

Review of NiQuitin CQ CQ Step 1 Patches

...chosen to review is the Niquitin Clear patch - Step 1. It is a 24 hour patch and it works by delivering nicotine through the skin throughout the day to replace the nicotine you used to get from cigarettes in order to reduce your cravings and unpleasant symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. First off then the appearance of the patch....... Well, it's about 2" by 2" give or take and is see through, hence the Clear part of its name. However, just like ...
...as it may act as an early warning system to passers by that you may be very irritable, it is not something that I would want showing. Therefore I had been applying the patches to the upper parts of my arm and not wearing strappy tops! I did apply to my thigh on one occasion but we'll come on to that later..... So after applying the patch what next........ Well I was hoping it would be business as usual but without the fags, although I kind of new ...

It lasted for about 12 hours and eventually ...

The good thing about 24 hour patches is that when your 24 hours are over you stick another one on and you don't have to go throgh the process of waiting for it to get into your system, so basically you sleep in it and put another one on first thing in the morning, where as some brands only support 16 hours. The product does work, I didn't suffer cravings at all, which is strange ...

Review of NiQuitin CQ CQ Step 1 Patches

having smoked 20 a day for several years now i finally decided it was time to quit. i went along to my local pharmacy with the intention of getting an nicotine inhaler but was advised by my pharmacist that since i smoked over 10 a day and had my 1st one within 10 minutes of getting up, I would probaby have more luck with patches. Having never tried to quit before I have nothing to compare to but I have certainly been impressed so far. The patches ...
...this time. They come in boxes of 7 which also include leaflets with extra advice - a lot of this seemed like common sense to me but there were a few useful hints. They recommend patches are changed every morning and so far this has worked well for me - it gives me something else to do in the time I would normally have my first cigarette. The patches are very sticky and I have had no problems with any falling off or sticking to clothes - I have not ...

Background information. I have been smoking for 15 years, in this past 4 years I have been smoking tobacco, roll ups, at around 30-35 per day. My doctor decided we should try patches, and started me off with these, in the hope we can decrease the doseage over ...

You can enrol online and "click to quit" which some people might find useful, but last time I did this, I didn't. AAlthough some of the hints are pretty much standard, didn't need to be told things such as set a date, don't even smoke one cigarette etc. It is a useful aid to see where and when you smoke most.

Review of NiQuitin CQ CQ Step 1 Patches

...in the form of the NiQuitin CQ patches. Nicotine replacement therapy is proven to assist quitting and typically doubles the number of people who quit compared with willpower alone. The patch is designed to be worn 24 hours a day allowing nicotine to be steadily absorbed through the skin, unlike gum, lozenges, and inhalators which need to be used regularly throughout the day and also provide a nicotine 'hit' similar to that of smoking, this means ...
...Further to following the NiQuitin CQ plan I also done the following: * Identify when you need a cigarette and when is just habit. I needed a cigarette in the morning with my coffee so I cut out the coffee and replaced it with herbal tea as a result I found the morning cravings all but stopped after a few days. * When you find you want cigarette pick up a coin or find something to occupy your hands, if the urge is very strong take some deep breathes, ...

Review of NiQuitin CQ CQ Step 1 Patches

i personally blame these patches for making me even more addicted! Personally i found it was stupid to even start smoking, i was on around 8 a day so not many, i put a patch on my arm and it ached like anything, so much i had to take it off! Ever since then i have been completely addicted and get many cravings, i am not on 40 a day and i have no idea how im going to quit! I have read some other reviews and thought how they vary, when my dad wheres ...

I have no guarentee of the outcome. the side effects if left are for to long can be pretty bad, You come out in hot sweats and even can have hillusinations! how ever you spell that sorry! which i think are pretty serious. It could infact take a very long time, up to 6 months and for some people it could last longer than that! If it does you have to ...

Review of NiQuitin CQ CQ Step 1 Patches

I had been a smoker for 11 years. I smoked about 15 ciggerettes a day, untill march this year when I made a visit to my doctor with my 5 year old daughter who was suffering with asthma. During the appointment my doctor asked me if I smoke and shamefully I had to admit that yes indeed I did smoke. He stressed to me that it was vital that I didnt smoke around my daughter, and that I should really give up altogether. He told me that there was a nurse ...

Like many others I thought It would be a waste of time as I just thought no way will I be able to give it up, even though I would have loved to kick the habit many times over the years. I had often thought about giving up but just never got around to it. Now never seemed the right time and I always had an excuse. ...

Review of NiQuitin CQ CQ Step 1 Patches

The Niquitin patch programme was originally introduced a couple of years ago and at the time I was seriously considering giving up the dreadful habit!!. I purchased the step 1 patches and started the programme on New Years day 1999. I was to be honest very sceptical - as I had heard many stories about how they dont work and how they make you feel. I had also tried a number of other products to help you give up smoking and none of these had worked ...
...totally take away the cravings, but with the help of chewing gum in huge quantities - I thinkw rigleys share price went up at the time!!! - I continued and it worked. I did not go through the full six weeks as advised in the pack, but instead went for three weeks on step 1 and then two weeks on step 2 and then just a week on step 3. During my time on the patches I did not ever feel sick (as I had on other products), I did however get a very irritating ...
