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.
