| Habitrol is an effective way to stop smoking. Habitrol patches aid the user in the fight against nicotine withdrawal symptoms by releasing a small, controlled amount of nicotine into the system. Each Habitrol patch lasts for 24 hours. When you apply a Habitrol patch to your skin, the nicotine passes through your skin and into your body, replacing the nicotine you would have got from smoking. As your body adjusts to the treatment, your dosage of nicotine is gradually reduced and finally stopped all together. Habitrol patches are designed in 'steps.' Step 1 (21mg) should be used for six weeks and delivers 21mg of nicotine over a 24-hour period per patch. Step 2 (14mg) should be used for two weeks and delivers 14mg of nicotine over a 24-hour period per patch and step 3 (7mg) should be used for two weeks and delivers 7mg of nicotine over a 24-hours period. If you smoke less than approximately 15-20 cigarettes per day you should start with the step 2 patches (14mg.)
