Nicotine Replacement Therapy - NRT

Nicotine Replacement Therapy, or NRT for short is the common name for Nicotine products like patches and gum. They help to deal with nicotine withdrawal cravings, and greatly increase your chances of successfully quitting smoking.

NRT is designed to help you stop smoking, and works differently to cigarettes, removing the harmful side effects of smoking, such as causing cancer. NRT does not contain toxic chemicals like tar or carbon monoxide.

In the UK you can get NRT on prescription so quitting smoking does not have to be expensive. If you are pregnant, take regular medication, or have a circulatory or heart condition you should contact your doctor for advice before starting Nicotine Replacement Treatments.

How effective is NRT?

1 in 5 smokers that want to stop smoking will do it with the help of NRT. If you are dedicated to stop smoking, your chances of success are doubled if you use NRT. Your best chance of success comes with a combination of NRT and counselling, see the useful sites section to the right for help in quitting smoking.

Nicotine Gum

Chewing nicotine gum, which comes in two strengths, allows your body to absorb nicotine through the lining of your mouth.

Nicotine Patches

Nicotine patches last either 16 or 24 hours, come in 3 different strengths, and the nicotine is absorbed through the skin.

Microtabs

A Microtab is a small white tablet containing nicotine that dissolves quickly under your tongue (you must allow it to dissolve, do not suck, chew or swallow).

Lozenges

Nicotine Lozenges are an alternative to gum and are sucked slowly to release the nicotine through the mouth lining. Used every or hour or two, take about 20-30 minutes to dissolve.

Nicotine nasal spray

Good for heavy smokers, the spray delivers a quickly absorbed dose of nicotine, through the lining of your nose.

Inhalators

Inhalators are like a plastic cigarette, and replace the physical 'hand to mouth' urge. Sucking on the inhalator releases nicotine vapour which gets absorbed through your mouth and throat, not into the lungs.
