Nicorette Invisible Patch 15mg 7s will provide effective relief from cravings and withdrawal symptoms experienced when trying to stop smoking. It provides a safer alternative to smoking for both the individual and those around them. Ideally you should aim to stop smoking. The patch can be used in a number of different ways, either to completely replace all your cigarettes, or if you do not feel ready to stop smoking completely, to replace certain cigarettes and therefore help you to cut down the number of cigarettes you smoke. It may also help increase your motivation to quit.
Lighter smokers (i.e. those who smoke less than 10 cigarettes per day) are recommended to start at Step 2 (15 mg) for 8 weeks and decrease the dose to 10 mg for the final 4 weeks. Those who experience excessive side effects with the 25 mg / 16 hours patch (Step 1), which do not resolve within a few days, should change to a 15mg / 16 hours patch (Step 2). This should be continued for the remainder of the 8 week course, before stepping down to the 10 mg / 16 hours patch (Step 3) for 4 weeks. If symptoms persist the advice of a healthcare professional should be sought.
Quitting smoking can re-wire your brain and help break the cycle of addiction. The large number of nicotine receptors in your brain will return to normal levels after about a month of being quit. Quitting smoking will keep your hearing sharp. Remember, even mild hearing loss can cause problems (like not hearing directions correctly and doing a task wrong). Smoking is the leading cause of heart attacks and heart disease. But many of these heart risks can be reversed simply by quitting smoking. Quitting can lower your blood pressure and heart rate almost immediately. Your risk of a heart attack declines within 24 hours. Scarring of the lungs is not reversible. That is why it is important to quit smoking before you do permanent damage to your lungs. Within two weeks of quitting, you might notice it’s easier to walk up the stairs because you may be less short of breath.
