I know it sucks escpecially when you younger than 18 and want to quit or perhaps- wanted to give them to someone to maybe convince them to quit. I recently did the patch a couple weeks ago and I hated it. The patches wouldn't stay on, not even with duct tape! I ended up quiting but it was only after ripping the patch off and going cold turkey. I was a pack a day smoker for 9 & 1/2 years, so yea it can be done.

They can't have little kids using nicotine with patches so you might have to be an adult...Why not just try and buy it? If they say you can't, no harm done.
