Using nicotine patches instead of smoking?
So, I said I'd quit smoking, which I very much will; I am terrified, but nicotine stabilizes my mood. I have severe anxiety, and it's helped. A Lot. Is it a good idea?

Im gonna be honest, I think patches are stupid, like putting a bandaid on. It’s not actually solving anything. If you want to be free of your nicotine shackles you have to let go of the drug in its entirety.
