Are Nicotine Patches the New Weight Loss Hack? Expert Insights 💡

Social media is buzzing about nicotine patches for weight loss. Dr. Neil McDevitt weighs in on this trend:

Yes, nicotine boosts dopamine and serotonin—those feel-good chemicals that lift your mood and suppress hunger. But here’s the catch: that rush is exactly what makes substances addictive. Whether it’s sugar, shopping or nicotine, your brain starts craving the chemical high.

Nicotine also carries some negative health effects like raising your blood pressure, increasing the risk of stroke and heart attack, weakening your immune system and raising your cancer risk.

Dr. McDevitt puts it simply: You’re not solving the problem—you’re just swapping one addiction (starches and sugar) for another.

Bottom line: There’s no shortcut to a healthy lifestyle. Stick to a balanced diet, regular movement and quality sleep.
