<aside> 🩹 Can I smoke while wearing a patch? You do not need to stop using the patch if you slip up and smoke while wearing it. For most people, it’s safe to use a nicotine patch while smoking and this does not usually cause any side-effects.

☀️ SUMMER PATCH TIP ☀️
Patches have a tendency to slide off in the warm summer months, especially around pools/swimming spots, during manual labor, or just when it's hot out. You may want to keep some medical tape on hand to reinforce the patch adhesive. For active people or those with sweaty arms, the back of the shoulder blade is a preferred location. Note: Tegaderm transparent dressing is not recommended since covering the entire patch can heat it up and impact nicotine release.
