If you are trying to quit smoking, the nicorette patch can be the most effective stop smoking aid on the market today. Like all patches it allows you to set it and forget it. This frees up the rest of your day to go about your normal routine while the patch quietly works its magic.

Not all stop smoking aids are created equal. Most are time consuming and constantly remind you that you are trying to quit smoking. Ever try hypnosis? What a lot of work. You have to constantly think about smoking, not to mention the time required out of your day to devout to this stop smoking aid.

Another stop smoking aid is the nicotine gum or lozenge. Here is another method of nicotine replacement that will constantly remind you that you are trying to stop smoking. Every time you pop open another piece, you have to think “I could be having a nice cigarette right now”.

Everyone knows the health benefits of stopping smoking. So with that in mind, doesn’t it make sense to use the cessation method with the least amount of stress involved? The patch is the most stress free stop smoking aid available today.

That is why, for my money, I think the patch is the best stop smoking aid on the market today. Like I said it just sits there and quietly works while you go about your normal business.

The Nicorette Patch, like all nicotine patches is a self adhesive bandage that is placed on the skin to administer a slow, constant infusion of nicotine into the system. Since the Nicorette patch is a nicotine replacement therapy, it cannot take the place of smoking a cigarette. When smoking a cigarette, the nicotine is instantly introduced into the bloodstream. The patch works differently. It can take up to several hours to be introduced into the bloodstream. Therefore, it can not be slapped on for a few minutes to take the place of a cigarette.

Nicorette patches are designed to be used on a near hairless part of the body. Most people place them on their arms, but there are several other locations on the body that will also work. It is a good idea to rotate the Nicorette patch between several different locations on your body.

There are some side effects of using a nicotine patch reported by some people. Some users report skin rashes after using the patch. This is often a reaction to the adhesive used on the product. Also, some people obtain the rash from the nicotine. A topical cream such as hydrocortisone can help relieve the discomfort. Another side effect often reported is an interruption of normal sleep habits. Often, users apply a 24 hour patch and their bodies are not used to receiving nicotine while asleep. This can disrupt their normal sleep patterns. Some users have reported reducing this sleep disruption by switching to a 16 hour patch.

It is important to remember that while on the Nicorette patch you should not continue to smoke. Since the patch delivers the nicotine slowly through the skin, it can still provide nicotine up to 12 hours after removal. Smoking during this period can deliver an unusually large amount of nicotine to the body. Please use the Nicorette patch responsibly.
