which smoking cessation aid is designed to deliver controlled amounts of nicotine to the body while avoiding the harmful effects of smoking?
chewing tobacco
nicotine gum
nicotine patch
cigarettes

Explanation:

1. Pharmacy cholesterol testing kits are designed to measure blood cholesterol levels, which is a key factor in evaluating a person's risk of cardiovascular disease; the other options are unrelated to their function.
2. Nicotine patches release a steady, controlled dose of nicotine to reduce withdrawal symptoms without the harmful tar, carbon monoxide, and other toxins from smoking. Chewing tobacco and cigarettes still deliver harmful substances, while nicotine gum provides nicotine but not in a continuously controlled, transdermal manner like the patch.

Answer:

1. By measuring cholesterol levels for cardiovascular risk assessment
2. Nicotine patch
