how can a nicotine patch she puts on her skin can possibly work? could u please explain ...thanks in advanceWhen people smoke, nicotine goes into their lungs, which is absorbed into the bloodstream. The patches contain nicotine and are designed to take the edge off of needing a cigarette. When she puts the patch on her skin, the nicotine is absorbed through the skin, thus entering the blood stream. So, the addictive nicotine that she was getting through cigarettes, is now provided through the patch. Not a lot of people succeed with it, but- it is helpful.Nicotine is readily absorbed through the skin, just as through the lungs and the lining of the mouth. The reason they make patches (and gums, lozenges, and inhalers) for people who want to stop smoking is that it upsets the stomach, so nicotine pills wouldn-t work.The patch delivers a small dose of nicotine through the skin which helps the smoker to wean him/herself off the drug.
Sometimes the amount of nicotine on the patch will cause a rash, if this happens, call the company. The number should be on the box.Our skin have pores, and anything we put onto our skin it drinks up. As said with the nicotine patch, the treatment is being absorbed through the skin and regulating doses of it throughout the day.
