Djerassi – Day 7: Quitting Smoking
With “The Patch” in place, I’m finally kicking the habit. I went on a run this morning and found myself gasping for air like a fish out of water. When I got back the “waterproof” patch started to come off. At $3 a pop I wasn’t going throw it away as the instruction manual suggested, so I gaffed it on.
Now this patch thing is making me dizzy, is emanating smells of cotton candy, and is giving me a terrible headache.
Fuck you nicotine.

Your body thanks you sir.
And clearly you should be filming an updated version of The Sound of Music, what with all those beautiful rolling hills and such a fine suit on hand.
If the hills get boring, I’m sure you are welcome back at Yale anytime. The YD”N” always needs good photographers.

You should try to get everyone there to quit somthing with you, somthing that they desire and need, or at least wear sympathy patches…
Unless they have a heart condition, because that is dangerous.
dude thats so friggin funny! i have always wondered what people do when those peices of crap fall off. well thanx for solving that mystery and keep up the good work-smoking is baddddd!!!!!!!!!!
Marc,
Don’t let all these people fool you. Nobody likes a quitter.
Just think of it, you can never leave a situation to have a cigarette and you may never use the line of “Can I get a light?” on an attractive woman/man, err… person. Needless to say, they can never ask you for a light either.
So smoke up Johnny, we have to support the Tobacco Farmers of America. Or nobody will …
It’s a proven fact that the fastest way to get something from the outside of your body into your blood stream without “shooting up” is through the rectum, so if in the morning you have that nicotine craving, shove one of those patches up your ass. It’s the only way to be sure that you never have another cigarette. Also, believe me on this one because I’m a smoker, the best times during the day to have a cigarette is first thing in the morning, after a meal, after sex, and while drinking. If you can quite those four things, you can quit without that expensive patch.
The large 4×4 adhesive bandages hold the patches on pretty well too! They’re cheap at the drug store and don’t rip your arm hair(& skin) off either…don’t even bother trying to put it on your back unless you want to sleep for 3 weeks straight…good luck
Marc,
This is nice and all, and you seem like a broadminded guy, but remember: You’ve put your number on the internet. BE CAREFUL!!!! Have fun, but BE CAREFUL. People are nuts, you know. Your mom didn’t tell me to write this, but I am somebody’s mom, and just remember: BE CAREFUL!!!!!

Believe it or not, the brand name Nicoderm CQ (clear) patches are actually a lot more sticky than the generic patches.
I always wondered what people did, that had so much time to waste!!! Keep up the good work,good luck
