No, but you can die real fast if you smoke and wear the patch. Nicotine builds up in your system and you can die from an overdose of it.

No, but you can die from the sudden, serious side effects to your cardiovascular system. Because of the ingredients in the patch and the cigarettes, you can experience a severe heart attack or stroke. Patch souled be removed at least 24-48 hours before smoking.

Why would you bother wearing a patch if you're going to smoke. What a ridiculous thing to do.
I have heard from a nurse that if you smoke whilst on chemo that it can multiply the carcinogens in your system causing cancer to spread. Maybe that's what you mean.

Yes. the cancer is not due to the nicotine alkaloid of tobacco, but to the tears in smoke which are highly carcinogenic. Nicotine is not good for heart, but the hydrocarbons in smoke are very dangerous

it is not proved that you can get cancer faster if you smoke. there r people who smoke and lead a healthy life.and there r people who dont smoke and have cancer. but smoking may make u vulnerable to cancer ,so why take the risk. so don't oversmoke. smoke only in limited amount

You can get nicotine poisoning because of all the extra doses you're getting from smoking while on the patch. It can make you extremely ill - and possibly, die.
