Nicotine Patches. Is that considered QUITTING???

I just started the nicotine patches today (had one cig this morning before slapping the patch on 2 hours later) 14 hrs without smoking...that is good for me so far :) Anyhow, back to the question... If i follow the patches like it states to do, i will still have nicotine in my bloodstream on surgery date(no date but most likely will be in a month). Does this count as "quitting"? Or does the nicotine become a problem even if it is in patch form? I know my longs will be much clearer but not my blood... Thanks for letting me ask :) ~*Jodi*~ >{{*>
