Product Description
Step 2 Starter Kit If you smoke 10 or less cigarettes per day What is the NicoDerm CQ Patch and How is it used? Nicoderm CQ is a small, nicotine-containing patch. When you put on a NicoDerm CQ patch, nicotine passes through the skin and into your body. NicoDerm CQ is very thin and uses special material to control how fast nicotine passes through the skin. Unlike the sudden jolts of nicotine delivered by cigarettes, the amount of nicotine you receive remains relatively smooth throughout the 24 or 16 hour period you wear the NicoDerm CQ patch. This helps to reduce cravings you may have for nicotine. NicoDerm CQ is a three step program. You start with the highest level of medicine and gradually step down your dose. If you smoke 10 or less cigarettes per day, start with Step 2. To Increase your success in quitting: * You must be motivated to quit. * Complete the full treatment program, applying a new patch every day. * Use with a support program as described in the enclosed User's Guide.

Effective so far August 3, 2010
Tian Wang (Mountain View, CA)
I bought this for my father, who has been smoking for more than 30 years and tried to quit many times but never succeeded. He smokes less than 10 a day so we started with Step 2. He has used it for about 3 weeks now and hasn't smoked one cigarette since. He said he didn't feel anxious any more when he's not having cigarette like before and feels confident this time he'll succeed quiting.
I did it! July 17, 2010

After many failed attempts I finally quit! It's been 1 year now.I took my time and stayed on the patch for 4-5 months, I needed that security. I can honestly say it was not difficult with the patch! Good luck.
 An important health product kept just out of reach of consumers February 9, 2010

I have used Nicoderm CQ for 10 years in order to stop smoking for months at a time.
I haven't been successful in quitting for good yet, but I have smoked much, much less during the past 10 years as I know that when I want to stop, I can do that today without the horrible withdrawal symptoms.
My failure to stay stopped has nothing to do with the effectiveness of Nicoderm CQ, as we all know that with all programs, after a certain point its all about the smoker.
But as a product which allows you to stop smoking today and get through withdrawal, its worked extremely well for me.
There are two major problems with Nicoderm CQ.
One is price, and the other is accessibility.
These patches are ridiculously expensive and have always been that way for as long as I have used them. How does the cost NEVER come down?? I suspect that the manufacturer just keeps it at the price where it is marginally cheaper per day than cigarettes in most states. But after a decade of production, there is no way these patches could cost this much to make. Its sad, because the threshold price of this product keeps it out of the hands of lower income smokers which could use it.
I would discourage ANY user from buying these boxes one at a time as you need them - HUGE mistake. The first time you run out of patches and don't have your next step ready is a massive opportunity for your quit to FAIL. Take the plunge, and invest the $150+ in the 3 steps at one time (although I think lighter smokers dont need step 1 - see the box)
These patches are insanely hard to obtain relative to the product they seek to wean you off of. IMHO, Nicoderm, by law, should be available EVERYWHERE cigarettes are sold without any exception whatsoever. Instead, they are kept under lock and key only at pharmacies and (some) supermarkets. I often find it common for them to be poorly stocked at some locations - like missing a step 1 or 3.
In a lot of ways, Nicodrem is sold like condoms were in the early eighties. Pharmacies only, often behind the counter to discourage minors. If it were after hours (i.e. 'prime time') the potential for unwanted pregnancies and STDs skyrocketed. It was sad that it took AIDS for society to realize 'hey the more accessible we make these things the more effective they are". DUH.
Its the same case with Nicoderm - if they would stop regulating it like radioactive-cigarettes-on-steroids and instead promote and subsidize it to get it into smoker's hands, it would be 100x more effective in helping people who want to quit.
Woked for my Daughter June 16, 2009
R. Saber (Washington, DC)
I purchased this product for my daughter about a year ago and it worked. She has not smoked, even taken a puff, since quitting. She was a smoker of about 10 years and was willing to quit to go on a cruise with me, smart girl. She, again, was willing to quit and I believe that coupled with this product lead to her success. She had no side affects and little anxiety. She used all three phases. I would recommend this product to any smoker who is will and determined to quit.
Good stuff February 23, 2009

Out of all the ways there are to quit smoking, I think this is a good one. Initially it might be a bit much so as you go along you might want to start cutting the patches in 2 and applying them once in the morning and once in the arvo. After two weeks you might be able to make it with just 1/2 a patch a day.
