Well that's tough because that is a mental craving. After a few days the nicotine is out of your system, so by the 6th day the craving is no longer physical. To get over this you need to be stronger than the cigarette and I believe this is about attitude more than anything.
The patch is a nonsense, as you are still addicted to nicotine. I've found after many attempts, that the best way to give up is to pick a day to give up, then the evening prior to it, have your last cigarette before dinner and go to bed early, that way, when you wake up, you've already gone 12 hours, and I find that I am so busy in the morning that I don't have time to think about it, and everytime I do think of it, I think of the poison, the heavy breathing, the stink etc. you have to program your mind against it, everything about it is wrong. Keep busy, maybe skip dinner and go to bed early just until the cravings go away, it will only last 2 weeks max.
Try using a flossy after dinner to help with that craving. Good Luck and don't give in.
