Quit Smoking Patches
Stop Smoking Patches also called Nicotine Patches are available under several Brand names. They are designed to help you quit smoking by reducing your craving for tobacco. Each adhesive patch contains a specific amount of nicotine embedded in a pad or gel. Nicotine is the habit-forming ingredient in tobacco. When you give up smoking, lack of nicotine makes you crave cigarettes and may also cause anger, anxiety, irritability, frustration, or restlessness.
When you wear a nicotine patch, it delivers a specific amount of nicotine which travels out of the patch, through your skin, and into your bloodstream, keeping a constant low level of nicotine in your body. The resulting level of nicotine that enters your body is less than you would get from smoking. It may however be enough to keep you from craving cigarettes or experiencing other withdrawal symptoms.
Nicotine patch therapy should be part of an overall stop-smoking program that also includes change of behavior, counseling, and support. The goal of the therapy should be complete cessation of smoking, not just "cutting down."
This is how the nicotine patch should be used:
Take a fresh patch out of its packaging and remove the protective liner from the adhesive. Save the wrapper for later disposal of the used patch.
Stick the patch onto your outer upper arm or any clean, dry, non-hairy part of your trunk.
Press the patch firmly onto your skin for about 10 seconds, making sure that the edges are sticking well.
Wash your hands. Make sure there is no nicotine sticking to your hands. It could get into your eyes or nose and cause irritation.
After 16 or 24 hours (depending on the brand), remove that patch and apply a fresh patch to a different spot on your body. It is recommended to use a different spot of your body and not reuse a spot for at least a week.
Fold the used patch in half, place it back in its own wrapper, and throw it in a trash container that cannot be reached by children or pets.
