I'm on the patch and my doctor told me to start at 21mgs if I smoke more than a pack a day, which was about my level. So far it's worked well for me so I'm not going to mess with it. I can see the wisdom in taking the six weeks to change habits, and deal with quitting mentally and emotionally.
I do worry a bit about what happens when I go off the patch, but many people on this forum have said it's not a big deal.
So everybody's different, but I think I'm going to keep following the directions, because so far, it's working, and I'm not smoking, for the first time in about 30 years.
