A member asked:

What are the pros and cons of nicotine patches?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: The pros are that they work with or without other short acting nicotine agents and they may help to avoid short term nicotine agents that maintain addictive behavior. One may have to combine patches in highly tolerant smokers to add up to more than 21 mgs. Cons include lack of consistent effectiveness and skin irritation.
