The patches are designed to release nicotine into the body through the skin at a measured rate and amount.
You start off by applying one of the stronger patches, and stopping smoking at that time. Not only is it necessary to stop using cigarettes to help break the habit of smoking and oral ingestion of nicotine, it is also dangerous to do so when you are using the patch. Nicotine is a poison, and it is possible to overdose.
After a period of time, you graduate down to lower and lower dose patches. This avoids the discomfort of nicotine withdrawal while you are dealing with the habitual parts of the addiction, such as lighting up after meals (chew a toothpick), on the phone (doodle on a pad of paper), in the car (turn up the radio and sing), etc.
Eventually you're down to practically no nicotine at all, and you just stop putting the patches on. There may be a day or so of discomfort, and then you're off to enjoy a smoke free life.
Don't kid yourself. Quitting is still hard, even with the patch, but eliminating the madness associated with nicotine withdrawal makes it doable. Just remember: only addicts think they have to feel good all the time.
Nicorette patches works as an aid for smokers to quit. When the patch is applied to the skin, tobacco and nicotine are secreted into the skin. What this does it to help the person trying to quit still get the feeling of smoking but really it is just being secreted into the skin rather then inhaled.
