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.
