Hi P.Butterfly,
I use the patch, it was what my Dr recommended. He told me to follow the directions just like you would follow the directions of a prescription he would write for me. That is what I did. When I took the final 7mg off I had three or four days of something. I don't think it was cravings, I was just emotional. The 70 days days gave me time to trust myself with the habit.
Stay as busy as you can, especially your hands. I used several things, toothpicks, straw, rubber bands, ice water, peppermint candy, and brushed my teeth several times a day. Stay strong, and congratulations on your decision to quit smoking...
