Considering that one cigarette "delivers" around 1mg of nicotine or less, it's equivalent to smoking fourteen or more cigarettes all at the same time. Not good.
If 7mg of nicotine doesn't satisfy your "addiction", just what are you "addicted" too?
I did this once and got really sick from it, like slight nicotine poisoning. It's probably best just to get a higher dosage patch

Can you use nicotine patches one year out of date?
According to my pharmacist, after four years they can still be anywhere from 50 to 100 percent active, depending on the make or even the individual patch in each box. He suggested possibly trying the stage one patches I had that were old, as stage two patches. He also said it's definitely NOT a waste to try them as they will not release anything toxic into your system. At the worst, they MAY not work, in which case you would try another patch. He recommended, though, to never use two expired patches together, in case you do manage to get patches with a combined dosage of over 100%. So, DON'T throw them out - give 'em a try. If you don't feel any relief after an hour, try a new one and discard the old. Good luck with your struggle - it is worth it in the end to be finally rid of nicotine!
How long will one nicotine patch last?
I read that it is only about 3 mg over the 24 hours. Seems low to me since 1-3 mg is absorbed from one cig, so if someone is a pack a day smoker then that is 20-60 mg absorbed per day by way of smoking. 3 mg from a patch will come way short on satisfying a pack a day smoker. Really, when you think about it, tobacco growers can suffer from green leaf sickness in which the nicotine is absorbed right thru the skin from handling the leaf. So I'm sure a drug company can get the full 21 mg from the patch into your blood no problem . The greatest difficulty would lie in having that transfer take place evenly over 24 hours. I say 21 mg from a 21 mg patch. Want to know a far cheaper way? Cut a cigarette into 5 even size pieces. Get a small container and pour olive oil over it and let them soak. Then one at a time every about 4 hours take a section and pop it in your mouth and wash it down like a pill. It takes a while for you to digest out the nicotine. One cigarette has about 9 mg of nicotine, so that one cigarette over the 24 hours will be about the same as smoking 3 to 9 cigarettes (depends on how much you bong hit your cigarettes normally and suck every ounce of nicotine and tar from each hit). Then over the next few weeks start to wean yourself off. This way you break the psychological habit, the oral habit and social habit and other habits, like having a cigarette with a cup of coffee habit, before you start to deal with the physical habit. For a lot of people nicotine is a form of self medication. It wouldn't hurt to look into maybe you smoke because your low on some neurotransmitter in the brain and possibly you should think about an anti depressant... like me and lots of other people... Maybe a little 5-HDT from the health store would be a start. This is a precursor ro melatonin and serotonin. It is an intermediate of l-trytophan (the stuff in turkey that makes you sleepy).

What is a nicotine rush?
Nicotine rush is a feeling you get after the first cigarette after a long period of time without cigarettes: For example, if you are a smoker and didn't smoke for let's say a day or two, the next cigarette will give you that feeling of a ''nicotine rush'' that's kinda like being stoned.
