Why would you try to quit smoking by feeding your body with more Nicotine?

Every time you smoke a cigarette, each puff introduces a drug called Nicotine into your body (along with hundreds of other toxic chemicals - some even kill insects on contact, and some are used to embalm dead bodies). Nicotine is the substance responsible for fooling your brain into releasing a "pleasure" chemical called Dopamine. Nicotine receptors on your nerve endings receive the Dopamine and create "Happy" nerve cells. It's Dopamine that gives you a false sense of well-being, and soon the body wants more and more Dopamine on a regular basis. This is the beginning of your addiction. I never had any success quitting smoking using a patch that contained Nicotine. It just made me addicted to the patch. I actually wanted to smoke more. What I did find however, was a herbal patch. It worked the same way as the traditional patch, but it used natural sources instead of Nicotine. I am interested to know if anyone else has found an effective solution to quit. Its been 65 days, and I feel great!
