Question: Lately, I've been hearing a lot on nicotine patches. Can
you tell me what they are?
Answer: Nicotine patches can be prescribed by your doctor to help
you quit smoking. It is a skin patch that releases nicotine through the
skin into the bloodstream while you are wearing 11 There are three
graduated doses of nicotine patches. The patches will address the phys-
ical craving one develops using tobacco, however, you still need to
work on the psychologies') aspects of the addition. It could cost be-
tween S60.00-$70.00 for -a two week supply. If you haves dnig-benefit
plan, check to see if it covers the cost. The treatment usually does not
exceed 12 weeks. You should not smoke while using the patches as it
is possible to get too much nicotine into your body. Never use patches
if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Remember to keep this and other
drugs out of the reach of children and pets, and to dispose used nico-
tine patches in a safe way.
Question: I'm thinking of quitting smoking. What other alternatives
do 1 have to help me?
Answer: Good for you! Being motivated to quit smoking is the first
step towards a healthier you. You can choose from a number of meth-
ods; opting to go 'go it alone, to join a support group, or to contact
your family doctor. Are you able to quit 'cold turkey' or would you feel
more comfortable quitting little by little? Many people quit on their
own and remain smoke free. If you decide on a formal cessation pro-
gram, the Huron -Perth Lung Association offers a "Countdown" pro-
gram that is available by calling 271-7500. For some people it takes
several attempts to be successful. Don't give up, keep trying and find
the method that works best for you.
