Question

if an individual smoked one pack of 25 cigarettes each day, would a smoker get more or less nicotine per day using this patch? a smoker would get select more less the same amount of nicotine per day using the patch.

Explanation:

Typically, a nicotine patch is designed to deliver a controlled, relatively consistent amount of nicotine, often less than what a heavy smoker (like one smoking a pack of 25 cigarettes daily) would get from smoking, as smoking delivers nicotine more intensely and in higher amounts per cigarette (with some loss due to incomplete combustion, but overall daily intake from a pack can be high). So a smoker smoking a pack of 25 would get more nicotine per day from smoking than from a patch, meaning using the patch gives less.

Answer:

less
