A to Z of Stopping Smoking

Nictoine Replacement Therapy is the term used to describe the products containing nicotine which are designed to help you stop smoking. These include nicotine patchees, nicotine gum, nicotine nasal spray, nicotine mouthspray, nicotine lozenges, nicotine inhalators. 

Nicotine products aren't a magic pill that make you stop smoking. They reduce the urges to smoke and help with unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Nicotine products all work in slightly different ways, so do read up on each one to make sure you're getting the maximum benefit. Studies show that many smokers do not not use nicotine products as much as they need to. This means they are dealing with withdrawal symptoms e.g. irritability when they don't have to.We have strong evidence to suggest that you use two forms of Nicotine Replacement Therapy, the skin patch, and one other. The skin patch slowly releases nicotine into your body and the others work more quickly.
