Never underestimate the power your own mind. The reason it worked is because you thought it was going to work. When you had a nicotine craving, your mind was able to dismiss it because you were aware of the fact that you were wearing a nicotine patch so your own brain made the craving better. The same thing would have happened if the patch had no nicotine at all as long as you thought it did. I’d like to see a study where one group of people try to quit smoking with no aid, and another group try to quit smoking thinking they have no aid but are somehow being supplied nicotine. I don’t know how such a thing could be done or even if it’s ethical, but I am betting there would be no difference in success rate between the groups.
I’m happy that you achieved your goal, though. I hope you continue life as a non-smoker if that’s what you want.

i stopped smoking a couple of months ago and it was very difficult to stop my cigarette cravings. nicotine patches helped me a lot to quit smoking.
