Yep once the nicotine is removed your practically given up. When i started using the nicotine patches within minutes yes minutes not hours or days but minutes the craving disappeared - im speaking for myself not others for others the patches might not do a thing but for me it was a shock to the system in a good way. I was put on the highest dose of nicotine patches available for heavy smokers so thus might be the reason why it worked as ive heard of smokers having patches on one arm and smoking a cig with the other! - the dose wouldn't of been enough to help. I didn't even suffer from withdrawals etc thanks to the patches ., but the habit was still there - every time i had a coffee/beer or straight after dinner i would want a cigarette. I would just talk myself out of it or find something to do with my hands - this wanting a cig usually lasted about 10minutes i would just forget that i wanted one as i found myself doing something else.
