Nicotine patches

Nicotine patches are a smoking cessation aid designed to help people quit smoking by reducing withdrawal symptoms and cravings. They are adhesive strips that you place on your skin, releasing a controlled amount of nicotine into your bloodstream throughout the day. This helps to ease the transition away from cigarettes by maintaining a steady level of nicotine without the harmful effects of smoking. Patches come in different strengths, allowing users to gradually reduce their nicotine intake. They are typically used as part of a broader plan that may include support groups or counseling to increase the chances of successful quitting.
