Nicotine Replacement Therapy
Nicotine replacement therapy helps relieve
some of the withdrawal symptoms people experience when they want no
smoking. The most used aid for nicotine replacement therapy is the
use of nicotine patches which offer several advantages over others,
these are described. |

- The nicotine patch releases a constant amount of nicotine in the body; the
nicotine dissolves right through the skin and enters the body. The patches are
similar to adhesive bandages and are available in different shapes and sizes.
A larger patch delivers more nicotine through the skin.
- Less nicotine is obtained through the patch than in cigarettes. The patch
also does not contain all the tars and poisonous gases that are found in
cigarettes. For more help on nicotine replacement therapy and no smoking,

- Most of the patch products are changed once every 24 hours. One particular
patch is worn only during the waking hours and is removed during sleep. For

- Studies have shown that it is much easier to give up the patch than it
would be to give up cigarettes for two reasons. First, people usually develop
cravings for things that provide immediate satisfaction, such as chocolate.
With the patch, the nicotine level in the body stays relatively constant day
after day. There is not immediate satisfaction, so there is little craving. Second, anything people do often, such as smoking, becomes a habit;
since you apply the patch only once a day, there is no strong habit to break. For more help

- Wearing the nicotine patch lessens chances of suffering from several of
the major smoking withdrawal symptoms such as tenseness, irritability,
drowsiness, and lack of concentration. For more help

Another widely available and affordable nicotine replacement therapy for no
smoking is the use of Nicotine Gum
which also has its advantages:
- Nicotine gum contains enough nicotine to help in no smoking. The
over-the-counter gum is available in the same strength as the original
prescription product, 2mg (for smokers of 24 or fewer cigarettes each day) and
4mg (for smokers of 25 or more cigarettes each day).
- Like nicotine patches, nicotine gum helps take the edge off cigarette
cravings without providing the tars and poisonous gases found in cigarettes.
It is a temporary aid that reduces symptoms of nicotine withdrawal after
quitting smoking.
