A member asked:
What complications can occur wearing a nicotine patch when a person has a blood disorder (thrombosis)?

Not major: Nicotine is a stimulant, so it may raise blood pressure a bit. Unlikely to cause thrombosis. It is definitely the right choice if the other option is to continue smoking as that will definitely cause thrombosis.

Good question: If you have a blood clot and are receiving anticoagulation for it, you shouldn't have to worry about further clotting, even if you continued to smoke (which you certainly would not want to do with a thormbosis). The safest and healthiest thing, though, is to not smoke or use a nicotine patch, either one.
