the tudies a nicotine skin patch was more effective than a pi cebo (blank)
patch in helping people quit moking. In all ten tudie the rate at which
people were able to stop moking was approximately twice the rate for
smokers who received the placebo. The amount of nicotine delivered was
roughly one-half of the amount normally obtained from cigarette moke,
