[The nicotine patch. Short-term results in a group of hospital workers].
As part of a not smoking sensibilization programme, focused on the staff of our hospital, we carried out a no randomized following open study over 51 smoker workers. The tobacco withdrawal was achieved in 27.4% of cases after the treatment with nicotine sticking plaster of 16 hours of liberation during a 12 weeks period. Slight and none important adverse reactions were observed. The nicotine sticking plaster shows its usefulness for decreasing the intensity of the withdrawal syndrome on these people.
