By the way, an acquaintance quit smoking, applied a nicotine patch, it was true a long time ago ... but it wouldn’t be so bad at pharmacies. It helped him a lot, as he said.
IMHO, all these nicotine-containing drugs do not lead to anything good, since nicotine addiction remains ... There is no doubt that psychological dependence is removed / you don’t drag on a smoking stick, but in order to quit, it is advisable to get rid of both of them ...
