What Is the Best Nicotine Patch for a Heavy Smoker?
Nicotine patches are available in three strengths to help smokers step down until they're able to comfortably quit smoking completely. If you smoke more than 10 cigarettes a day, look for a product that has the highest dose of nicotine, which is typically 21mg. Eventually, as your body adjusts to fewer cigarettes, you can begin to step down to lower doses.
If you still need help managing cravings, consider supplementing your patches with nicotine lozenges or gum. A Minute Clinic doctor can provide additional advice about dosing and managing cravings.
What Is the Best Nicotine Patch for Sensitive Skin?
Nicotine patches typically contain an adhesive, so they can be placed directly on your skin. If you have sensitive skin, it's helpful to stick to products that require a once-a-day application. With a light adhesive designed to stay comfortably in place, these patches can deliver nicotine throughout the day without irritating sensitive skin. To minimize irritation, it's also helpful to rotate the areas where you place the patch, using each location only once per week.
