The patch is very helpful for the physical aspect of it -- or, rather, for dividing the battle so that first you're fighting the mental battle of being used to smoking before you go into the physical side of breaking the nicotine addiction -- but it can't help you if you don't really want to quit, because your mind will fuck witchu.
But the reason patches are good is that they have an expiration date ... so about a month before they expire, most stores will mark them down heavily. I was able to buy a week's supply for $5 ... which, at that point, was still the price of a pack of cigs that I would've finished in a day ... so it actually saved me money to boot. And it's SOOOOOOOOOO much more efficient a way to get your nicotine.
