A member asked:
Why does someone go through withdrawal if they still have nicotine (e.g. in patch form)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Patch has lower dose: Generally the patch is a lower dose than what you are getting in cigarettes and so you experience some symptoms, though they are much attenuated. Best wishes!
