Nicotine is a stimulate that people become addicted to when smoking. Nicotine itself is not that harmful, it's the tar, smoke and chemicals that are found in cigarette smoke that kills. A nicotine patch worn on the skin replaces the nicotine found in cigarettes when a smoker is trying to quit. The nicotine is absorbed within the bloodstream lessening the effects of withdrawal symptoms. A person wears these patches approximately 6-8 weeks while dropping down the dosage of a nicotine patch.
As always before starting a new regimen it is important to talk with you doctor about the possible side effects and which type is right for you.
