Nicotine patches to relax - non smoker?!
Question:
Nicotine patches to relax - non smoker?
Will nicotine patches have any effect on my health, other than being addictive? I'm thin already too and don't want to get too thin.
Answers:
Not a good idea. Nicotine is a stimulant so it won't help you relax, and it will very likely make you sick.
When I was trying to stop smoking once, a nurse I was working with (nonsmoker) heard me talking about how nasty tasting the Nicorette gum was and wanted to try it. She got very nauseated and dizzy and was VERY sorry she tried that! (Smokers often have a similar reaction to their first cigarette.)
