There are two big reasons why cigarette smokers, who want to quit smoking, should use a nicotine patch or nicotine gum.

First of all, nicotine does not cause cancer.  You are addicted to the drug, nicotine, and not to the toxic smoke that contains it.

Secondly, using the patch or some other nicotine releasing tool will help you to “step down” and away from the act of smoking.  You can deal with the nicotine later.

Obviously, nicotine is a powerful drug.  It is more addictive than heroin or cocaine.  You have dosed yourself multiple times a day for X number of days and years.  As a result, your brain has actually built for your brain additional “pleasure receptors” to receive gratification from nicotine stimulated neurotransmitters.  In essence, the nicotine addict has compounded his or her ability to receive the affect of that drug, thereby increasing their addiction to it.
