I smoked for decades, and quit "cold turkey" back in 1989. Haven't smoked since, so I was VERY cautious/worried about trying a Nicotine patch, as part of a parasitic treatment (along with Ivermectin/Fenbendazole).
I was afraid that my addiction to smoking, would transfer to an addiction to the nicotine patches. It does NOT.
What makes smokers addicted, isn't Nicotine - it's Pyrazine. Pyrazine is something that all humans crave, we are by default "addicted to it". That's why tobacco companies have formaldehyde and heavy metals added to the chopped tobacco. To bind Pyrazine to the tobacco.
Ever wonder Native Americans smoked tobacco; but didn't get addicted to it? Ever wonder why Americans have epidemic levels of lung and throat cancer; but not so much in the Asian countries that still smoke a lot?
Nicotine is a strong anti-parasitic, and you will get the Nicotine buzz if you put to large of a dose on your body. I buy the biggest patch I can find, and cut it into thirds. The patches are about the same price, so buy the 28mg and cut it into 3 pieces - just over 9 mg each - and try one for a few days. There is a complete regime on nicotine treatment for parasitic infections.
