Patches are changed once per day, and their pharmacokinetics isn't addictive (the nicotine blood levels rise too slowly to give you a dopamine boost). I sometimes realize in the afternoon that I forgot to change my patch in the morning because I'm a bit drowsy (a feeling not unlike being uncaffeinated when you're used to drinking coffee). AFAIK the withdrawal symptoms fade out in at most a week.
