Quitting Smoking and the Patch?
For many people, quitting smoking seems like an impossible feat. Nicotine is arguably the most addictive widely-available substance that exists. If you can't go cold turkey, then trying the nicotine patch might be a good solution. The patch, which looks and feels like a Band-Aid, releases nicotine into your body through your skin. This significantly reduces your body's nicotine cravings, thereby reducing your desire to smoke.
Can nicotine be transferable to another person by contact?
No, that's silly, nicotine patches are chemically formulated to be adsorbed through the skin, so unless its a patch, no. Rub, or snuff, ect, is absorbed by your gums, not skin, your skin is meant to keep things out, the only way to passively intake nicotine is by second hand smoke. But wash your hands after handling cigarette smelling clothes.
Can the nicotine patch be placed on the bottom of your foot?
No, the nicotine patch should not be placed on the bottom of your foot. It should be applied to clean, dry, hairless skin on the upper body, such as the chest, back, upper arm, or hip. Placing it on areas with thicker skin or less blood flow, like the foot, can affect its absorption and effectiveness. It's important to follow the instructions provided with the patch for best results.
Can you put on a patch if already smoked 3 cigarettes?
Keep in mind that just as the effects of cigarettes may last for minutes to hours in the body; the residual amount of nicotine remaining in the skin after patch placement also lingers. The main concern would be overlapping the amount of nicotine with both. I know that many people take off the patch to smoke cigarettes. This is an improper use of the nicotine patch, and may indicate the need for a higher dose of the patch, or if already on the 21 mg strength, the need for adding other therapies. Zyban and Chantix may both be considered.
