Quit Smoking: Gum vs. Patch Which is better?

Because patches gradually release a steady flow of nicotine into your body over a 24-hour period, patches may be the best choice for those who smoke at regular intervals.

Nicotine chewing gum releases nicotine into your body quickly, delivering an instant dose of nicotine as well as providing a little oral gratification. Gum may therefore be best for those who smoke more at different times during the day.

Regardless if you choose the convenience of the patch or the gratification of the gum, they will significantly improve your chances of quitting.
