Summary

Since 1996, the nicotine patch has been re-classified from prescription to over-the-counter (OTC) status in the United States. Little is known about how the public uses the OTC nicotine patch due to lack of monitoring. The purpose of this observational study is to describe the characteristics of consumers who purchase OTC nicotine patches from community pharmacies and to determine the factors associated with the appropriate use of nicotine patches.
