good on you for trying to give up the smokes - the patches can give u very very vivid dreams. its just one of the side effects of them -    dont give up   trying to ive up and dont worry about vivid dreams as time goes on   they will go 

 

i gave up on the patches cause the  doctor thought they might be interferring with my medication  so then i used nthe lozenges and   then i gave them up and went cold turkey smoke free since 21 june 2008  and loving it -   

keep trying  - i can tell you its the hardest thing to give upo sometimes i still thinkk   ooohhh i would love a smoke and then some stinky smoking person walks past   and i nearly faint with the stink  -    i tried everything -   before   like hypnotism  hypotherapy  patches  cold turkey etcetc -    this time im stayimg  smoke free - i casn ggod luk and keep at it
