I smoked for years (Covid ended up being the final reason I quit) and have tried multiple ways to quit. I started to develop a theory that nicotine wasn't the reason I kept coming back. Rather, it was the chemicals that tobacco companies added to the cigarettes that made me a lunatic when I cut myself off from them. That and the physical action of smoking were the 2 top reasons, not nicotine.
I only smoke organic rolling and couldn't smoke for a week and didn't miss it. When I smoke at home it's kind of a pattern or ritual. Not because I get the shakes from a lack of nicotine.
Yes it's addictive because it triggers dopamine release. However a cut off segment of a patch will probably not become addictive
