Will nicotine patches work if I sweat alot at work?!


Question:

Will nicotine patches work if I sweat alot at work?

I have a very physical job and want to use nicotine patches to quit smoking. I have tape that stays on when I sweat. If I use that to hold the patch on will it still work?


Answers:

The tape should help. The patches are supposed to be waterproof. My husband used them for a while, but sometimes they'd fall off in the shower or after he'd sweat at work. They have adhesive that's similar to those on a band-aid....it only sticks well for so long, you know? It was weird because sometimes they'd stay on with no problem and other times they'd fall off right away. Very frustrating for someone trying to quit smoking! Good luck.
