I almost died one time from nicotine poisoning, I was trying to quit and forgot the night before i put the patch on, and the next morning i started chewing some niccorette gum then I decided to take a shower and I forgot my gum was nico gum and I had the patch on from the night before, well before taking a shower I smoked a ciggarette thats when all hell broke loose I got really weak and collapsed to the floor and couldent catch my breath, I was there for quite a while figuring I was having a heart attack, while lying there in the bathroom I realized my gum was nico gum and spit it out, I started feeling better in about 5 minutes, and stood up and saw the patch on my back about where your kidneys are, I ripped that off and shortly thereafter was 100% and laughing my ass off.
