My pharmacist tells me nicotine is a stomach irritant, and he recommends trying patches. There is one make whose patches are large enough to cut into smaller patches - they are quite expensive. And if you are not trying to compenste for addiction a small patch ought to be (?) sufficient. What is sufficient? How small a patch? What dose will it deliver? These questions I have yet to look into. Thank you all for the info.
