Is nicotine patch and placebo the same?
No. A placebo is in a way a "fake medication", a pill without the active ingredient. Often used in clinical trials for the "control group", to avoid psychological bias. A nicotine patch does have an active ingredient (the nicotine), and is used to gradually wean people of smoking.
What will happen if you take a large amount of placebos?
Technically, absolutely nothing should happen. A placebo is substance that is meant to deceive the patient into believing they are getting actual medication. Placebo's are most commonly used in drug trials to see if the drug actually works or simply causing a "placebo effect". Which is a psychological response the brain permits when it believes it is being treated. So ultimately the answer to your question is that no, taking large amounts of a placebo won't harm you. Though if you are experiencing placebo effects then it has the possibility of increasing your response to it.

What is a placebo in trials?
A placebo in clinical trials is a substance or treatment that has no therapeutic effect, often used as a control to compare against the actual treatment being tested. Participants receiving the placebo may experience perceived improvements due to their expectations, known as the placebo effect. This helps researchers determine the efficacy of the active treatment by isolating its effects from psychological influences. Placebo-controlled trials are essential for validating the effectiveness of new medications or therapies.

What is a placebo How can the placebo effect lead to incorrect results in an experiment?
A placebo is a substance or treatment with no therapeutic effect, often used as a control in clinical trials to test the efficacy of a new drug or treatment. The placebo effect occurs when participants experience real changes in their condition simply because they believe they are receiving treatment. This can lead to incorrect results in an experiment by masking the actual effectiveness of the treatment being tested, as improvements may be attributed to the placebo rather than the intervention itself. Consequently, distinguishing between true treatment effects and placebo responses becomes challenging.
A placebo eases the pain or severity of a disease but does not cure it?
A placebo is a 'pretend' medicine. If you were testing a new pain relief pill, for example, you might prescribe that to 1,000 people and prescribe a harmless placebo (perhaps just sugar made to look like a pill) to another 1,000 patients. One would naturally expect that the first pill eased pain while the placebo did nothing, but because of psychological components etc., it is possible that several patients who received the placebo will claim it did relieve their pain! Strictly, a placebo should do nothing to improve the lot of a patient...
Why is double blind study reliable?
To avoid the placebo effect! If doctor knows that the substance he is giving is inert, his behavior will change. Patient is likely to note the same. If the doctor knows that he is giving the drug, his behavior will be confident. Patient will again note the same. So to avoid this placebo effect, the doctor has to be blind as well. Same is true for the patient also. So both the patient and the doctor need to be blind to have the proper study of the drug. Such study is called as double blind study and it is necessary for proper results.
