What it called the “Anti-cigarette body stickers” that helps people to quit smoking?
March 12th, 2011
I have friend who smokes a lot and he ask me how to quit. In addition, there are so many ways to do; however, I heard from someone that there is a sticker with anti-cigarette gel on it that people could glue on their body for 24 hours. So, my question is does anyone know the name of that thing or where to buy?

The are called Nicotine patches.
A nicotine patch is a transdermal patch that releases nicotine into the body through the skin. It is used as an aid in nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), a process for smoking cessation. In 1990 the patch was patented by UCLA professors Jed E. Rose, Ph.D. and Murray E. Jarvik, M.D., Ph.D., and physician K. Daniel Rose, M.D. [Rose JE, Jarvik ME and Rose KD. Method and apparatus for aiding in the reduction of the incidence of tobacco smoking. U.S. Patent No. 4,920,989, issued May 1, 1990].
Ask you doctor if your interested in getting some.
It’s called a Nicotine patch. You can get it from the doctor.
That’s good that he wants to quit. I hope he does. Encourage him to quit because quitting can help reverse some of the damage he has done to his body already if he hasn’t smoked too long. If he has been smoking for a long time it will help him prevent more damage.
Added: Brassbal… TOTALLY copied my answer. I wrote Nicotine Patch first and Brassbal changed his/her answer. Whatever!!
I saw that Bichon Mama! Your answer is correct it’s the nicotine patch.
Yes indeed, nicotine patches. They are one form of nicotine replacement therapy, along with nicotine inhalers, nicotine gum, and nicotine lozenges. Nicotine is a very highly addictive psycho-addictive substance, which keeps cigarette smokers hooked. NRT substitutes for the nicotine found in cigarettes, which many smokers use when they try to quit smoking. I used patches in 2006, when I tried to quit. I was not successful, but I credit patches for helping me make it to day 4 before I caved in. Today, I still use patches occasionally, for when I have to go long periods of time without smoking. For example, conferences, flying. They are certainly no substitute for a cigarette, but they are very effective at curbing the cravings for a cigarette,
One word of warning: NEVER use NRT and smoke at the same time. It’s really best that your friend speaks to his doctor about NRT, to help him decide if NRT is right for him, and which NRT is most right for him. And if he decides to quit, be patient with him! Words will never describe how hard it is to quit!
