My patches come in foil wrapping, so I store the unused part of the patch inside that and tape it closed. I'm pretty sure it still loses effectiveness over time (after opening), but the remaining sub-patches still have (quite noticeable) alertness effects.

Hm. Maybe I should try out patches. (After my nicotine/DNB experiment, I'll be pretty low on gum.)

I'm surprised lower dose patches aren't available

I'm sure there are, but IIRC, one is paying mostly for patches, not dosage (the marginal cost of nicotine being very small), so cutting up patches looks attractive cost-wise.
