I had a sister in law who got extremely ill using niotine pataches. Haven't there been some articles about death due to those?

It seems to me when I was reading into this stuff (surface skimming, since it isn't relevant to me personally), I read recommendations against continuing to smoke while using the gum and such.

I expect a surge of advertising for NRTs now that the vaccine approaches are making noise.

Oh, hey, maybe the pet paper thing could be used to housebreak an animal via addiction. Cool.

All these products have warnings on them of what the side effects can be. The side effects are far worse than smoking.

The environmentalists won't permit the excess packaging necessary for cigarettes to list all the side effects.

That might be a good outgrowth of FDA authority, come to think of it.

Here's a thread tangentially related to that.
