Hello everyone. I've had a questions since my quit regarding HRT Patches (specifically Nicoderm CQ). I quit on Jan 2, no smoking or dip since (fwiw quitting dip is harder than quitting smoking)... I'm doing fine but I have had a nagging question since I've stopped... so, i do not know and cannot find detailed info about the engineering of the patches and how they actually deliver nicotine. for example, there are four layers. is the nicotine layer viscous? can it move around throughout the surface of the patch? my reason for this is the following -- can i simply peel off one half of the backing and expect to get half of the dosage of the patch? this way i can use one half of a patch at a time - and get a lower dosage. I have 2 boxes of 21mg patches left but i don't want to throw on a whole patch if i only feel like i need a little bit. i'm sure as hell not buying another, lower step box at $40 (US). Thanks for any input. EDIT - I know i'm not supposed to cut them, so that is why i was curious about doing this.
