Banish that cigarette with nicorette

Advantages: helps you to quit
Disadvantages: Its obvious your wearing it, can peel off

...the body is decreased. So there you go...quick overview of that... *****The Patch***** This method may not be suitable for everyone...it's the same with many things, but I would suggest to give it a go. This particular patch is 10mg in strength and is designed to last 16 hours. It is meant to be put on first thing in the morning and taken off before you go to sleep. There are two main makers of patches: Nicorette and Nicotinel, then there are companies own brands but as there are a few to list I've left them out. Nicorette range from 15mg (the highest they make) to 5mg (the lowest). 10mg is the other strength patch they make. ----Appearance---- Well the higher the strength the larger the patch. The 10mg patch is 5 1/2 cm in length x 4 1/2 cm in height. The patch is contained inside a white foil wrapping which can only be...

Review of Nicorette Nicotine Patches Medium Strength

Nicorette!They worked for me!

Advantages: I've quit!
Disadvantages: Slightly itchy, and whatever you do, don't fall asleep with one on!

...just paying it all in one go that makes it seem like a shock! The 15mg patches are huge, but just look like plasters with "nicorette" written on. You apply them first thing in the morning on dry clean skin, with no talc or moisturiser or oil on, and just leave them on until you go to bed! Easy peasy!You put them on your upper arms, upper chest or hips, taking care not to put them on the same place on two consecutive days, to avoid irritation. The first patch I applied gave me a sort of Nicotine rush, like having the first fag of the day when tired. But my body soon became accustomed to this and that was the only time it happened. One time I did fall asleep with the patch on, woke up in the morning and felt terrible the next day, very groggy and irritable, like I had fog in my head lol. So make sure that you follow the instructions...

Review of Nicorette Nicotine Patches Full Strength

Patches rather than stinky fags.

Advantages: No more stinky fags
Disadvantages: Makes my skin itch

...smoking day. When I got home with my knickers in a twist I started phoning around all the help lines I could get my hands on, in the end I found a place that would help me and I didn't need to go on any course, the lady would ring me once a week to see how I was getting on and send the letter to the doctors to get the patches and Nicorette Microtabs which I felt I needed to give up. But this would take time too. I spoke to one of my friends who had given up and had some patches left over, she said I could have them so that I could give up on no smoking day. What a good old girl she was and to give her some more credit she was the only person who told me she didn't want another fag after she had given up. So now I am in my tenth week and feeling rather proud of myself I thought I would rite a review on the lowest nicorette patches which...

Review of Nicorette Nicotine Patches Medium Strength

Not a patch on willpower

Advantages: The theory is good
Disadvantages: I never even got onto the weeker ones, the withdrawal symptoms were too bad

...MY STORY: I was a smoker from the age of 12 after I got into the wrong crowd at school. This was rather unfortunate as I ended up getting addicted whilst trying to be popular, only to realise that being popular wasnt all that great, and being addicted was even worse. I went from a ciggy at break with my mate to nearly 20 a day. I was still on 20 a day 5 years later when aged 17 I began to really feel the affects on my lungs. I began coughing up brown tar from my lungs in the morning and I was finding it harder and harder to breathe when doing any form of excerise, and as a main player in the school football team this wasnt a good thing. I decided to try to end my suffering by attacking the cause. I wanted to quit smoking. THE IDEA OF THE PATCH: The nicotine patch is designed to help those who want to quit smoking by...

Review of Nicorette Nicotine Patches Full Strength

nicorette gum yuck

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: Sickness burning still want to smoke

...I am a smoker and have been for quite a few years. I have tried many options of quitting and always faild due to will power more than anything. If you dont want to quit you wont unfortunatly. This product was probably the worst I have ever tried tho the Nicorette version is exepensive to say the least that is the first down fall but you can get cheaper versions that will only cost you from about a £1 poundland did do one but I havent seen them in there lately but if you do want to try them i would look for the cheapest version due to they taste the same which is nasty and they burn your throught and tongue and that nasty taste will last in your mouth for what seems forever. I cant say that they work due to the taste I wouldnt have one when I did get a craving I would much prefer to have a cigerette. If you do want to quit...

Compeed Cold Sore Patch

Advantages: Clears the coldsores quickly
Disadvantages: Does not make the coldsore look like it's not there like it claims to do!

...seen "compeed coldsore patches" advertised on telly. They claimed to make the coldsore look non-existant and you couldn't even tell you had the patch on. At the time i did not see the point on buying the compeed as i did not have a coldsore. Guess what decided to pop up on my face the night before my year 11 prom! Yes, thats right a COLDSORE!! It could honestly have not come at a more better timing (not). I remember sitting in my living room just wanting to cry, it was my prom and i wanted to look stunning, how was i going to look like that with a big hideous lump on my face! That's when the compeed came to rescue me. I got my parents to go and buy me a pack the night before prom, but no where sold them!!!! Asda, local chemists, the nearest boots all did not have any. Luckily good old tesco had them. Hurray! The packaging...

Review of Compeed Cold Sore Patch

Old ladys with pins!!

Advantages: the packet is shiny, you dont smell
Disadvantages: itching, craving, sarcasm, grumpiness, the stupid price

...so a few days ago i decided to have my last cigarette. it was a glorious day and i stepped outside, sat under a tree and smoked my last ever smoke. i was slightly dissapointed that my last smoke had to be a pall mall, but i enjoyed it all the same. i got a packet of seven full strength, 24hr patches thinking that after this week i would be fine and i wouldnt need them anymore. the price pissed me off at $32, i only spend half that on cigarettes a week because i generallly smoke roll your own. the first day i didnt use the patches because i wanted to wait untill the next day before i put one on.thinking i could go a day without a smoke easy. so i woke up early the next day after a troubled nights sleep of craving a smoke. had a shower and put one of those bad boys on. all was going fine for about ten minutes. untill it started to itch...

Review of Nicorette Nicotine Patches Full Strength

Nothing else is a patch on these

Advantages: Easy to use, very effective
Disadvantages: Do pull your skin off if you're not careful

...he's also in the 'shove everything in his mouth' stage. So, for me the selling point of these patches was the fact that they provide an infection barrier. Any other benefits were secondary and I was somewhat sceptical of their abilities to disguise and clear up the cold sore. My OH was despatched to obtain these little patches from Boots at £6.99 for a pack of 15 patches. They come in a small plastic case which has a mirror stuck to the inside of the lid with a piece of double-sided foam tape. This had already fallen off before I opened my pack and I couldn't get it to stay stuck again. It was also more of a safety mirror and a bit dark, so I don't know how much use it would be anyway. The patches are individually wrapped in plastic sleeves, much like a plaster. Once you get this open there is a patch attached to an applicator...

Review of Compeed Cold Sore Patch

A patch will fix it!

Advantages: It works and hides it well
Disadvantages: Can be expensive

...Unfortunately I am a cold sore sufferer? I do get the odd attack when I am run down, stressed or when I am coming down with a cold and until Compeed came on the market I was forced to leave my herpes exposed with a mountain of white Zovirax cream on top which inevitably I ended up swallowing anyway! Compeed is a totally innovative product and if you do suffer of cold sores I would definitely suggest you to give it a go! WHAT IS COMPEED? ********** Compeed is a medicated round sticky and transparent patch that goes on your cold sore. It basically contains the same ingredients as Zovirax and by sticking on top not only does it avoid the infection to spread but also keeps the sore protected and the constant contact with the active ingredients ensures it constantly works to heal. It absorbs some of the liquids the cold sore...
