Answer 1

Favorite Answer

They're much safer for your lungs.

Answer 2

Nicotine patches are used for smoking cessation. Nicotine is released from the patches and absorbed through the skin.

Answer 3

Neither is good, but patches are safer (for adult-sized people) As you know, they help some people quit smoking. I used nicotine gum.

Answer 4

Hey there,

in a practical aspect ,cigarettes have >100 harmful substances so yes nicotine patch as compared can be considered better.

but since nicotine itself is harmful for your body, It is only used as a support till you get off from smoking addiction.

So neither smoking nor nicotine patch are good to continue with.

Hope this helps

If you hold a one to your penis, it won’t burn like a lot cigarette would, so I would assume yes.

Answer 10

Well - you aren't inhaling smoke, tar, and chemicals directly into your lungs - that has to be a plus.
