Nicotine Patch

A nicotine patch is a small adhesive strip that you place on your skin. It gradually releases nicotine into your body to help reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms when you are trying to quit smoking. The patch is part of a nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) approach, which aims to make stopping smoking easier by providing a controlled dose of nicotine without the harmful chemicals found in cigarettes. Patches come in different strengths and are usually worn for a specific amount of time each day, helping you gradually decrease your dependence on nicotine.
