How does nicotine patches work?
The patches are designed to release nicotine into the body through the skin at a measured rate and amount.You start off by applying one of the stronger patches, and stopping smoking at that time. Not only is it necessary to stop using cigarettes to help break the habit of smoking and oral ingestion of nicotine, it is also dangerous to do so when you are using the patch. Nicotine is a poison, and it is possible to overdose.After a period of time, you graduate down to lower and lower dose patches. This avoids the discomfort of nicotine withdrawal while you are dealing with the habitual parts of the addiction, such as lighting up after meals (chew a toothpick), on the phone (doodle on a pad of paper), in the car (turn up the radio and sing), etc.Eventually you're down to practically no nicotine at all, and you just stop putting the patches on. There may be a day or so of discomfort, and then you're off to enjoy a smoke free life.Don't kid yourself. Quitting is still hard, even with the patch, but eliminating the madness associated with nicotine withdrawal makes it doable. Just remember: only addicts think they have to feel good all the time.

Can you wear two 7Mg nicotine patches?
The lowest patch strength is usually 7 mg of nicotine (equal to about 7 cigarettes a day). It wouldn't be helpful in quitting to raise your intake like that. Try cutting back to one a day then one every other day, you can do it!
How do you get rid of a smoking addition?
There are various ways.

How long will one nicotine patch last?
I read that it is only about 3 mg over the 24 hours. Seems low to me since 1-3 mg is absorbed from one cig, so if someone is a pack a day smoker then that is 20-60 mg absorbed per day by way of smoking. 3 mg from a patch will come way short on satisfying a pack a day smoker. Really, when you think about it, tobacco growers can suffer from green leaf sickness in which the nicotine is absorbed right thru the skin from handling the leaf. So I'm sure a drug company can get the full 21 mg from the patch into your blood no problem . The greatest difficulty would lie in having that transfer take place evenly over 24 hours. I say 21 mg from a 21 mg patch. Want to know a far cheaper way? Cut a cigarette into 5 even size pieces. Get a small container and pour olive oil over it and let them soak. Then one at a time every about 4 hours take a section and pop it in your mouth and wash it down like a pill. It takes a while for you to digest out the nicotine. One cigarette has about 9 mg of nicotine, so that one cigarette over the 24 hours will be about the same as smoking 3 to 9 cigarettes (depends on how much you bong hit your cigarettes normally and suck every ounce of nicotine and tar from each hit). Then over the next few weeks start to wean yourself off. This way you break the psychological habit, the oral habit and social habit and other habits, like having a cigarette with a cup of coffee habit, before you start to deal with the physical habit. For a lot of people nicotine is a form of self medication. It wouldn't hurt to look into maybe you smoke because your low on some neurotransmitter in the brain and possibly you should think about an anti depressant... like me and lots of other people... Maybe a little 5-HDT from the health store would be a start. This is a precursor ro melatonin and serotonin. It is an intermediate of l-trytophan (the stuff in turkey that makes you sleepy).
