Hi Mark, the patch takes about 15 - 20 minutes to kick in after you first put it on.
Stick with your program. I am on my last week of the patch and am glad to have gone this route. Don't have any cravings at all anymore, (Knock on wood).
You'll do fine if you stick to your program and be ready for surprises! The first few days are the test and then its smoother sailing from there, so hang in there! :)

Mark,
One day, one hour, one minute, one second at a time. That's how we all did it. So can you. Hang in there! It does get better, I promise!

We all want to help you succeed.
Glad to have you join us!

Mark,
It should begin to take effect 1/2 - 1 hour after application. Please take the time to work through the online quit program or to read through a few threads.
Congrats on day 1! We are cheering you on!
