Comments about Walgreens Nicotine Patches, Step 2, 14 ea:
I still get cravings for cigarettes when I wear this patch. If I distract myself, I'm okay. I don't wear it to sleep because I get very weird dreams. I'm a budget buyer and will buy the cheapest patch you have available. I've tried them all but you can't rely just on the patch to stop smoking - you have to want to do it and stand your ground.
