Ways to Quit Smoking - Patches
What
is the nicotine patch?
It is a small patch; similar to a
band-aid that gradually releases nicotine through the skin throughout
the day. Typically the patch would be applied to the upper arm, but
anywhere above the waist will work. The patch lasts for 24 hours and
then a new one is needed.
You can get NicoDerm online from
Pharmacy Discounter.
How does it work?
Using a nicotine patch satisfies your craving for a cigarette by
providing the body with small amounts of nicotine. By itself this will
not cure you of the smoking habit. The dosage in the patch must be
gradually reduced until your body no longer craves the nicotine. At this
point you have cured yourself of the physical addiction to cigarettes.
Is it Successful?
You should use the patch over a period of three months or more for it to
be effective. People who do this have been able to quit smoking. However
you still need to overcome the mental desire for a cigarette, especially
when you are stressed, or in social situations where you used to indulge
yourself with a smoke.

If you are taking other prescription medicines
or you have some types of health condition you may not be able to use

irritation.
