Why Would Anyone Use A ????

hey all why would anyone be using nicotine patches if they are a non smoker? Is there some kind of high or something that one can get from it. Never heard of it before if so. I was asked by someone to post this question here on the board. Hope someone can enlighten me and the one who posed the question. By the way the one using the patch even though like I said is a non smoker is a recovering alcoholic.???????????
Weight loss or weight control? Nicotine is a stimulant...
