A couple of months ago a friend of my son came into the office to do some paper work. Everthing seemed fine until he suddenly fell to the floor in convultions.

They took him to the hospital by ambulance and after a few hours figured out what had caused it. Nicotine poisioning. He had decided to quit smoking and was using the patch, but the dose that he was receiving was too high for his body weight (he is a small man) - something that is not mentioned on the packages or in the ads. They gauge dosage by number of cigarettes smoked daily.

So if you know of anyone thinking of using this system it might be wise to check with a doctor first. You know the Pharmacutical companies won't want this to become common knowledge so they won't tell the public -- just as they don't inform you that one of the side effects could be death.
