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).
I've been wearing the same patch for 5 days and have gone from 30 cigs a day for 15 years to zero with virtually no cravings apart from the odd after dinner / beer / waiting for train type triggers. I plan to keep this on untill I haven't noticed its fallen off.
Quitting smoking can be hard because of the intense cravings your body has for nicotine. Nicotine patches can help you quit permanently by providing your body with nicotine from a source other than cigarettes. Nicotine patches are applied to the skin like a band-aid. The inside of the patch contains nicotine that will pass into your body and reduce your cravings.
Nicotine patches are available over the counter at most drug stores. They are usually applied once a day and use a time release method to dispense the nicotine into your body continuously.
Most nicotine gum come in two strengths: 2mg and 4mg.
/so, that's the amount of nicotine in one nicorette. How much of this is absorbed into the body is unknown by me.
These units all come in 'grades' of nicotine, the average grades are: 10mg, 18mg and 24mg. The package should state the amount of nicotine.
The amount of nictotine depends on the e-liquid being vaporised. You can buy liquids with set nicotine amounts.
