It is the same effect as the nicotine in smokes give you. The company just has to list all the possible side effects as it is a therapeutic treatment. It is a non scheduled product which means it could be sold from supermarkets if they so desired and where willing to have someone provide advice and support.

We may see more illnesses and deaths associated with complications of diabetes due to the patches. I don't know what the answer is though...I do know that smoking is a huge problem. Are people going to be fully informed before they're given these patches? So many things could go wrong, it's a real concern. Personally, I'd prefer to die in my fifties of cancer than in my twenties or thirties of diabetic coma, leaving young kids orphaned.

Smoking is a killer. Glad to see your concern for poor population. They are the ones who are at greater risk and less likely to quit since outreach programmes fail to reach them. Excellent post!
