Don't be squeamish about the thought of needles, they are minute, and don't reach the pain sensors under the skin, so you feel no pain. Each of the needles contains a small amount of nicotine. This nicotine goes into the bloodstream, and the smoker's craving for nicotine, which is the main reason they smoke, is theoretically relieved, eliminating the need for a cigarette.
