A member asked:
Is it safe to start wearing nicotine patch after all day of heavy smoking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES: For someone who is naive to nicotine, using a patch can cause "toxicity." if a patch helps you "cut down" on tobacco it is well worth it and relatively safe. They can't recommend that, however, because I do not believe that has ever been formally studied.
