ive quit smoking for periods of time not much longer than a few weeks max with the patches before and they absolutely do not replace the addiction of smoking with another. for one; the patches have a much longer half life because the route in which the nicotine is entering your blood stream is entirely different than how it enters when combusting tobacco and inhaling that smoke. also, patches you just slap on and forget about and thats it. yes they stop any physical "withdrawal" symptoms as well as many psychological ones (because obviously youre still getting nicotine) but youre obviously breaking that addiction with just the actions and needing constant smoke breaks and etc......
plus they are made in tapering strengths because theyre intended to be gotten off of once youve been wearing them for around 6 weeks (2 weeks with each strength i think idk its been several years) so thats not even really much time at all especially considering how much time its going to add back onto your life over all (from quitting i mean, i dont mean as a result of wearing those fuckers. also MAN do those things ITCH!!!!!!!! that drove me crazy!!!)
