Stick it to me

I have a friend who is currently trying to quit smoking cigarettes. He was a moderate smoker so his chances of actually quitting are pretty good. He is on the patch. From what I understand, this patch administers a small dose of nicotine at timed intervals throughout the day. This is not his first time trying to quit smoking. So do the patches really work?

I can imagine how hard it is to give up something your addicted to. I could not imagine my life without caffeine. Ya know what would be cool? If there was a patch for every kind of addiction. I want to give up caffeine, I stick on a patch and quit drinking caffeinated drinks. I want to give up energy drinks, I stick on an energy patch and let it slowly release that heavenly energy juice into my system (sorry about that. getting carried away there). Anyway, you get my drift. So no matter what your addiction, there would be a patch to help you quit. Imagine the possibilities. Tivo patch. iTunes patch. Internet porn patch.

Then again, maybe there is a reason there is no such thing as some of these patches. I know myself all too well. I really wouldn't try to quit my addictions. Rather, I would use these patches to supplement my addictions. How cool would that be. I could mix and match my addictions. I'd stick on an energy drink patch while drinking coffee. Or use my Internet porn patch while watching Tivo. Now that would be cool.
