    Nicotine patches

    I've decided to quit smoking and put my first patch on last night. Two hours later I had to take it off cos I was really ill and spent most of the night throwing up.

    Got up this morning and decided to try again cos I thought it might have just been a coincidence. Same thing happened again so I'm now patchless again.

    Anyone had any similar experiences with them?

    Can anyone recommend anything else I could try cos I don't wanna go cold turkey.

    And before anyone suggests it, they're not too strong. They're for smokers of less than 10 a day. :D

    Yes I do. I've actually managed well so far. Only since last night but I've hardly thought about smoking at all. I'm just concerned incase I can't do it on willpower alone. Higg's quit aswell so there's no temptation at home and he's hidden all the ashtrays and lighters away from me :D

    I quit after about 8 years smoking and it was easy, it's just will power and determination.

    I'm sure I'm not the only person it's happened too. That's why I asked if anyone has had similar problems with them. My mam suffered from really bad hallucinations when she was on them :D

    One of my friends started on them a while back and they gave him the most vivid intense dreams he's ever had - he could spend half an hour telling me everything that happened in his dreams that night.

    Must get some :)

    Don't exagerate Ruth. I have never chain smoked 20 tabs! Might do maybe four in a very short space of time when Im out but not much more. Otherwise I'd always run out of tabs when I'm out.

    Normally I smoke about 10 - 15 a day. I'm not a chimney :D
