Thanks monky, I have a month of no smoking under my belt this time and it is the first time I have used patches I take five different types of meds for my condition or copd, just wanted to make sure they all get along.

Hi oldguy,

It is safe to use nicotine patches if you have COPD :-)

Just in case you didn't already know, by giving up smoking you are stopping your COPD from progressing any further.

If there is anything else we can help you with, just give us a shout. Welcome aboard our stop smoking community! :D
