In the case of hair spray and toothpaste, this may not be dire, there for the most part, things should be used as directed – teeth whiteners, cold medicine, and especially smoking cessation aids like nicotine patches.
The strange thing about the general population’s disregard for directions is that they always seem to think more is better. The logic goes something like, “Well, if 30 minutes a day will gradually whiten my teeth, 2 hours a day will making them sparkling white by tomorrow!” It doesn’t take into account the fact that products are formulated to work a certain way for a reason. In our whitestrips example, that reason is because whitening teeth too fast will make the teeth very sensitive, damage the enamel and can even create uneven whitening with white spots.
However, using nicotine patches incorrectly can have longer-lasting and more dramatic side effects. Using two nicotine patches will not make it easier to quit smoking, because the purpose of nicotine patches is not to “cure” nicotine addiction. Instead, it’s an effective way to gradually lessen the nicotine cravings and to minimize withdrawal symptoms. In other words, adding more nicotine patches in an effort to quit faster will actually make it harder to quit because it will take longer to get the nicotine out of your system.
