Dear Bushkey,
Diavan is an angiotensin receptor blocker that helps to lower the blood pressure through modification of the renin-angiotensin system. It starts working soon after the first dose. In general nicotine withdrawal systems can be used with most medications but you should check with your doctor or pharmacist first before starting. Quiting smoking is the number 1 thing you can do to improve your overall health. Best wishes.
