Advantages: helps you to quit Disadvantages: Its obvious your wearing it, can peel off
the body is decreased.
So there you go...quick overview of that...
*****The Patch*****
This method may not be suitable for everyone...it's the same with many things, but I would suggest to give it a go. This particular patch is 10mg in strength and is designed to last 16 hours. It is meant to be put on first thing in the morning and taken off before you go to sleep.
There are two main makers of patches: Nicorette and Nicotinel, then there are companies own brands but as there are a few to list I've left them out.
Nicorette range from 15mg (the highest they make) to 5mg (the lowest). 10mg is the other strength patch they make.
----Appearance----
Well the higher the strength the larger the patch. The 10mg patch is 5 1/2 cm in length x 4 1/2 cm in height. The patch is contained inside a white foil wrapping which can only be ...
Advantages: I've quit! Disadvantages: Slightly itchy, and whatever you do, don't fall asleep with one on!
just paying it all in one go that makes it seem like a shock!
The 15mg patches are huge, but just look like plasters with "nicorette" written on. You apply them first thing in the morning on dry clean skin, with no talc or moisturiser or oil on, and just leave them on until you go to bed! Easy peasy!You put them on your upper arms, upper chest or hips, taking care not to put them on the same place on two consecutive days, to avoid irritation.
The first patch I applied gave me a sort of Nicotine rush, like having the first fag of the day when tired. But my body soon became accustomed to this and that was the only time it happened.
One time I did fall asleep with the patch on, woke up in the morning and felt terrible the next day, very groggy and irritable, like I had fog in my head lol. So make sure that you follow the instructions ...
Advantages: No more stinky fags Disadvantages: Makes my skin itch
smoking day.
When I got home with my knickers in a twist I started phoning around all the help lines I could get my hands on, in the end I found a place that would help me and I didn't need to go on any course, the lady would ring me once a week to see how I was getting on and send the letter to the doctors to get the patches and Nicorette Microtabs which I felt I needed to give up.
But this would take time too. I spoke to one of my friends who had given up and had some patches left over, she said I could have them so that I could give up on no smoking day. What a good old girl she was and to give her some more credit she was the only person who told me she didn't want another fag after she had given up.
So now I am in my tenth week and feeling rather proud of myself I thought I would rite a review on the lowest nicorettepatches which ...
