Nicotine Patches

Nicotine patch works like cigarette where it contains nicotine. Instead of smoking, it is a patch on one's skin. It usually comes in 3 types:
  1. 21 mg
  2. 14 mg
  3. 7 mg

A cigarette contains 1 mg and if a smoker smokes a pack (20 cigarettes) per day, he or she should start with type 1 which is 21 mg. After recommended 6 weeks and when their addiction becomes less severe, they should then move on to type 2 which is 14 mg for two weeks and the final type for another two weeks. Sooner or later and if determined, the addiction will wear off and voila!!!! you are a brand new "identity".

Note!!!

Due to the nature of the patches which contain nicotine; one should consult a doctor or a pharmacist before using them.
