What if I smoke a cigarette while on the Habitrol patch program?
It is important to note that if you slip at any time and smoke a cigarette, this is not to be seen as a relapse back to smoking. Do not let this mistake make you feel like a failure or cause you to give up on your stop smoking program. Get right back on track immediately. Do not smoke any more cigarettes. Have a think and figure out why you slipped this time, and how you will deal with the people, places or feelings that caused you to have a cigarette. It is important that you do whatever works best for you. Turn your slips into great learning experiences.
