Yes, it is possible although I am not sure how many it would take. Nicotine is a poison. One cigarette butt can contain enought nicotine to seriously harm a child. I smoke but I know I shouldn't.

I don't think it's possible. You see, one of the reasons people give up smoking is because they can't afford it. Have you seen how expensive nicotine patches are? If you were applying nicotine patches to yourself, hoping to stop smoking, to apply enough on your body to kill you would be way too expensive for the average stop-smoker.
Also, smoking stunts growth. This is common fact. Therefore smokers would not have enough body surface area to accomodate the number of patches required.
I think the black and white facts I've stated here clearly show therefore that it is not possible to die from over-patching. Unless you stuck them over your breathing orifices.

I dunno if that could happen, but if it could it would depend on the person. Each person reacts differently to different doses.
