Why not nicotine patches work?
So I quit and I was thinking of getting patches. But then I looked in Google and the Wikipedia article says that only 7% of smokers can quit for 6 months on the patch. So why do not they work. I mean it makes sense to me … the smoke of smokers in the nicotine patch and replace the nicotine in cigarettes which is not to smoke more, but I think it does not work most of the time … Why?
Part of it is psychological. You get used to having a cigarette in hand, taking part of their concentration so you do not drop it and it does reach the mouth. When he is not there, you get bored and then you feel you need a cigarette. It's not the nicotine that is the feeling and that his hand and the brain has something to do. You can also try gum, or maybe a pen that can chew (which is like quitting smoking) while you use the patch nicotine. Just something that can take up some of their concentration. But if you go with a pen, just remember that tend to have germs, because they are in power hands, so keep some alcohol wipes to clean your hand and make sure it dry before sticking the pen in his mouth. Alcohol wipes alcohol taste horrible.
