  • I talk in this video about the topic of smoking (or using any form of tobacco) while using nicotine replacement therapy. Is it safe? I talk about why it’s okay to do so. Disclaimer: Make sure you keep your doctor updated about your plans.
    Also, here’s an article I write on this topic a couple years back that goes over this in more detail:

    Great video! I keep telling people..this is a process..people try to quit once and give up after a day and just keep smoking..i tell everybody “listen, sit yourself down, and decide that its going to get done. Doesnt mean today, or tomorrow or even next week or even next month” Just make a plan and try a few different things but just know IT WILL HAPPEN AND YOU WILL GET IT DONE. People tend to stress to much over it. If someone keeps trying different things its bound to work. Eventually if your motivated ebough. Just sit down, make a plan, and go for it!

    I've been at a pack every two days roughly for almost a year. I started a 21mg patch two days ago and I have only had about a third of a cigarette.
    The effects of the patch and gum, seem to have been pretty immediate. The battle now I suppose is in my head, since I'm looking at my pack and see the money that I spent. But my body feels better I think.

      That’s good to hear! Sounds like you’re making great progress and off to a solid start in your quit. Yes, seeing the financial benefits definitely helps! And things smelling better is always a plus. Keep it up 👍

    Can you use patch and vape if need to?

      Is vaping with the nicotine patch part of your plan to quit smoking or another form of tobacco? Or just to quit vaping? That’s not the most common form of combination therapy. I’m most familiar with NRT combination therapy options. Patch plus the nicotine gum/lozenges/spray or even NRT plus Wellbutrin. These are fda approved forms of combination therapy that have been studied and tested extensively over time proving their effectiveness….there’s not as much research done about vaping (or vaping with NRT) since it’s still relatively new. There has been some recent research showing that vaping can help some adult smokers successfully quit…You can probably vape and use the patch together safely. The main thing with vaping is we don’t precisely know how much nicotine you may be getting. There’s so many different vaping devices on the market and the manufacturers claims of how much nicotine you’re getting aren’t verified to my knowledge….If this is your plan to quit smoking, it’s probably safe. Please keep your doctor updated about plans and pay close attention to how you’re feeling when you do vape etc. If it helps you quit smoking or chewing tobacco etc…this could be an effective approach. Keep me posted on how it goes for you…I’ll be curious to hear the results.. I wish you the best in quitting

      That's my question too I'm using nicotine patches and vaping at the same time 6mg nicotine juice I was thinking if this is safe because I think it's going to be more easier to quit to replace vaping instead cigarettes

    NO! I've been sick all night! I'm so sick and I wouldn't recommend this! Getting sick will definitely motivate you never smoking again!

      Sorry to hear about that! It sounds like you got too much nicotine and that was NOT GOOD. Hopefully the memory of that experience will deter you from smoking going forward…I wish you all the best in your quit!
