To how many cigarettes is one patch equal?
It is difficult to compare cigarettes to a patch because of the different way they deliver nicotine to your body. Cigarettes only deliver nicotine while you are smoking, then the level of nicotine in your system drops to a point where you begin to have cravings again. When you stop smoking, the level of nicotine in your bloodstream quickly drops. The Nicotrol patch will deliver a steady amount of nicotine into the bloodstream.
