For a long time, smoking while wearing a patch was discouraged; things seem to have changed in health discourse, given the overall absence of adverse effects observed. Nevertheless, smoking cigarettes while wearing a patch could expose you to nicotine overdose. Signs of overdose include nausea, headache, dizziness, palpitations and even diarrhea. If you feel the need to smoke while wearing a patch, it may be useful to review the patch dosage with your healthcare professional.
