If you re going to use the patch. It is advised to put the patch on when you have made the decision never to take another puff. 

Can I smoke with the patch on? 

No, and this is important! Smoking while wearing the nicotine patch can not only increase your addiction and tolerance to nicotine, but it also puts you at risk for nicotine toxicity. Having too much nicotine in the body can cause dangerous heart rhythm problems that could be fatal.  Education is the key to a successful quit. Please read and  follow the guidelines according to how much you smoke.
