Shortening The 10-week Nicoderm Plan?

Hey there, I have tried the patch before and am currently trying again. I was classified as a heavy smoker (more like two heavy smokers), and wanted to do things right this time....but I'm impatient! I was wondering if anyone knows how Step 1 one truly compares to smoking 10-20 cigarettes a day. I ask because I'm considering cutting Step one in half (3 weeks), moving on to Step 2 (I have 13 days-worth from leftovers), and finishing with 17 days of Step 3 (again, including leftovers from my last attempt a few months ago). I don't want to waste the extras, and I figure the withdrawals will come whether it's been three or six weeks, I just need to be strong. I didn't truly want to quit last time. I thought I was strong enough and it would be easy. This time I know it's difficult, but I am stronger and ready to be done with smoking once and for all!

Sorry for this being so long, and I appreciate any advice on my (possible) plan!

Hello, Kristin! How are you?

For the best results, you should stick with the normal taper plan and not try to cut it short. Rushing yourself just never works well and usually results in someone returning to smoking.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of the patches as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and skin irritation.

Is there anything else I can help with?
