Transdermal nicotine replacement (the patch) is an effective choice in tobacco cessation because:
 
  1. The patch provides a steady level of nicotine without reinforcing oral aspects of smoking.
  2. There is the ability to fine tune the amount of nicotine that is delivered to the patient at any one time.
  3. There is less of a problem with nicotine toxicity than other forms of nicotine replacement.
  4. Transdermal nicotine is safer in pregnancy.

Question 2

Patients who choose the nicotine lozenge to assist in quitting tobacco should be instructed:
 
  1. Chew the lozenge well.
  2. Drink at least 8 ounces of water after the lozenge dissolves.
  3. Use one lozenge every 1 to 2 hours (at least nine per day with a maximum of 20 per day).
  4. A tingling sensation in the mouth should be reported to the provider.
