Anti-smoking patch against bad habits

Smoking is not a good habit, and therefore from time to time every smoker tries to quit playing about cigarettes. A few painful hours, and maybe even a day without cigarette smoke, kilograms of candy, which, in fact, should replace a cigarette, but all is in vain. And the smoker, as a rule, again returns to the cigarette. And only a few are escaping from the captivity of cigarette smoke.

It is proved that smoking is a behavior that has not only a physiological but also a psychological basis. Therefore, it is necessary to fight against it in various ways. The most effective is the use of pharmaceuticals, which usually replace nicotine and gradually allow you to get out of this habit. And, the truth, many quit smoking, using a plaster from smoking.

Special plasters that contributed to the penetration of nicotine into the human body in sufficient quantities through the skin, began to be used in medicine somewhere in the 80s of the last century. At first they were sold by prescription, and then they appeared on a free sale. There are a large number of brands of this drug: "Nicotrol", "Nicorette", "Nicoderm", "Nicotinell" in the minimum dosage, etc.

Anti-smoking plaster refers to medicines that make up for the lack of nicotine in the body of a person quitting smoking. Whether so it is effective use of this medicine? Harmful nicotine will still enter your body, but not through a cigarette, but through a sticker on your body. The plaster helps to abandon the addiction, but it does not force you to quit and will not help to keep success. He just needs to help get rid of the physiological dependence on tobacco smoking.

The plaster from smoking contains nicotine, which within a day evenly enters the body through the skin. A small dose of this substance helps to reduce the physiological dependence, eliminates the withdrawal syndrome, and gradually the body is weaned from tobacco.

If a person is not determined to decisively get rid of a bad habit, if he doubts the result of his action, then there is nothing to count on the success of this event.

How does the adhesive apply? It is placed on the body once a day, every time in a new place. It is best to glue the patch on areas where the hairline is insignificant, between the waist and neck. The dosage of the used patch will depend on how many cigarettes a person smokes daily. For those who smoked 10 cigarettes per day, it is recommended to start the first month with 21 mg of nicotine per day. The next two weeks, the dose is reduced by one and a half times - to 14 mg, and the last two weeks can be up to 7 mg per day. This is the minimum dose of nicotine, after it the adhesive bandage from smoking is no longer needed.

As with some medicines, the plaster from smoking has side effects and contraindications to the use. So, as a result of its use, skin irritation can occur in the place where it is glued, and insomnia. With it you can fight with drugs with a hypnotic effect, and irritation to remove any anti-inflammatory ointment.

Pregnant women should not be given nicotine patches . A constant, albeit small, content in the blood of nicotine can adversely affect the fetus.
Another disadvantage of a patch is its price. For many smokers, it is the main argument to not start treatment. Say, for such money you can buy more than one pack of cigarettes. But this justification is sought by someone who does not want to get rid of smoking.

Well, now listen to those who have applied a band-aid on themselves. Reviews about this drug are very diverse. So, heavy smokers point to the main disadvantage of the plaster, which is that you can not use it at the same time and continue smoking. Those who drop the habit say that nicotine from the plaster significantly reduces the physiological craving for smoking, but the psychological desire to smoke still remains. But it's much easier to fight with him. In addition, do not apply nicotine patch from smoking by the clock, stuck and walk all day. The plaster from smoking does not cause sensation of treatment, it occurs imperceptibly, without doctors, without drugstores, without medicines.
