What Strength Nicotine Patch should I get if I smoke 8 cigarettes a day?Tomorrow I plan on buying a pack of Nicotine Patches, and I don't know what strength I need to get. I smoke an average of 5 to 8 cigarettes a day. Also which brand is better the Kroger or Generic brands or Nicoderm CQ?

I only have experience with the Nicoderm patches - you can usually get a pretty good deal if you look for coupons.
You should go with Step 2. Step one is for people who smoke 10 or more cigarettes per day. 10 or less is definitely in the step 2 zone.

I hope this was helpful for you. Good Luck!

Suggest you use the Commit lozenges instead, they're more effective and since you smoke so little there's a real danger that the patches will make you more rather than less addicted to nicotine. Whereas it's easy to alter the dose from the lozenges so you're getting just enough nicotine. But if you do use the patch, go with the 5 if you can, 10 if that isn't enough to reduce the risk that you'll get sick or make yourself more addicted.
