Nicotine patches

Has anyone here used them? Are they healthier than cigarettes.
I am not addicted to cigarettes, and I prove it to myself by regularly going on 1-2 month breaks from smoking (right now I'm 1 month smoke-free), and don't experience cravings. Despite not being addicted, I really like the effects of cigarettes - the kick, the sharpness of mind that follows. It used to help me work. I wonder if nicotine patches are a good alternative. They advertise them as aids to quit smoking, that they reduce cravings (which I don't have), but do they have the same effect as cigarettes?
