How does the Nicotrol patch compare to having a cigarette?
A cigarette delivers nicotine while you are smoking it. Afterward, the level of nicotine in your system quickly drops, so you begin to have cravings again. Cigarettes deliver nicotine faster, along with toxins and carcinogens. The Nicotrol patch delivers a steady amount of nicotine in the bloodstream throughout the entire day, which helps curb your cravings for nicotine.
