probably a good idea.
TJ - I've tried cold turkey a few times and failed miserably, like only a few hours miserably. The patch is designed with 3 steps, each step gradually reduces the amount of nicotine your body receives. So weening off the patch is built into the system. In total its a 10 week process: 6 weeks step 1, 2 weeks step 2, and 2 weeks step 3. I've been debating cutting 2 weeks off step 1 but I really want to be comitted to this so I think for once I am just going to follow the directions to the letter. I mean seriously 10 weeks is a drop in the bucket compared to smoking the rest of my life.
