EASY one !
the mechanism of nicotine addiction is the fact that it is a mirror image of Niacin. it also boots niacin out of your system.
Niacin is a catalyst for protein synthesis.
Nicotine only stays in the body for 15 minutes.
Smokers don't usually have a liver and onions fit !
Grab what's called "no-flush niacin" - keeps you from getting the red and itchy - ants -all -over-my-body thang ....
overdose on it for about 3 days...don't worry...
at worst you will end up with expensive , bright yellow pee.
at best you will free yourself from the chemical side of the addiction.....the rest is behavior - modification.
good luck Bro'
oh ..by the way 43mg of nicotine is fatal.
it is used as an insecticide , and is the 3rd most poisonous natural occurring substance, behind ricin ( 1mg ) and botox (>15mg).

Don't... eat... the patch. You can die from this. Typically, a patch releases 4mg of nicotine per hour for 24 hours. Eating it will give you most of that at once, and you will die. Try wearing it.
It sounds like your problem (and mine by the way) is the behavioral aspect of smoking. I find that avoiding situations where you would normally smoke is the best strategy. Otherwise, try eating a healthy snack instead, or really anything to take your mind off of it.

DUDE........whats up? I was going to pack it in today myself,however I prefer the cold turkey method,because there is only one patch I have ever been interested in and its not a nicotine patch! (morphine) think the Doc will OK it?So I can feel relaxed,and not be mean to people?

all i say is good luck, try drinking water when you feel like a smoke and get some chewing gum. or barley sugars.
