A member asked:
I quit smoking but how much health problem does using nicotine patch cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Slow growth is good: The patch replaces the nicotine from smoking. The patch is much less harmful than continuing to smoke. One day at a time works best. If you wean off very gently, and use mutual support, you may find that recovery is possible. Consider attending a meeting of nicotine anonymous.
