Discussion Nicotine patches

[Mistress Death]

Has anyone done research on nicotine patches? Is there an ld50? Signs/symptoms? Timeline? I'm having a hard time researching the potential toxicity of the patches.

No idea but I'd be hard pressed to view this as a viable method.

From a PubMed article. So I guess you can die from the patches. Had a report of a 14 year old girl found unresponsive after sticking 14 patches all over her body. Another man was found in distress, vomiting after trying the same thing.

I'm guesssing because it would take a ridiculous amount of patches and it just might not work anyways?

Yes, sums it up.

And if it did "work" it would be mightily unpleasant.

Goodness. Why is leaving this world so unpleasantly difficult? That was rhetorical.

Living is horrible so dying is too—basically life and death is a horrible crossword puzzle.

I am dying with a tank of gas and a turkey oven bag over my head. This shit isn't pretty, and it ain't kind.

Yes why?? I ask that question everyday
