Nicotine Replacement Products
Tobacco Cessation Medications
Medications to quit tobacco can ease withdrawal symptoms and double your chances of success.
Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) products give a small amount of nicotine to help relieve withdrawal symptoms.
Nicotine Gum: Nicotine gum provides a dose of nicotine through chewing and usually lasts about 30 minutes.
Nicotine Patch: A nicotine patch sticks to your skin and provides steady nicotine levels all day.
Nicotine Lozenge: Like nicotine gum, the lozenge provides nicotine through the mouth.
Nicotine Inhaler: A device you puff on to absorb nicotine through the mouth and throat.
Nicotine Nasal Spray: Sprayed in the nostrils every 1-2 hours for quick nicotine relief.
