NRT and You

It is known that tobacco is addictive, but what does it really mean? It means that it has a powerful effect on the body, changing mood, alertness and the amount of energy we have. These effects are pleasing to the tobacco user. Over time, the body adapts to an expected level of nicotine in the system, with a “normal” state achieved only when smoking routinely. This causes a physical and psychological addiction to nicotine present in the tobacco. Replacements for tobacco are important in cessation therapies and help reduce physical withdrawal symptoms and provide a safer alternative to nicotine intake.

So what is Nicotine Replacement Therapy?

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) and you:
It is the addictive nature of nicotine that makes it difficult for people to quit smoking and spit tobacco use. Nicotine Replacement Therapy is a well-researched field and if used correctly is an alternative to tobacco use. In the present global scenario, there are four forms of nicotine replacements available: gum, patches, lozenges and nasal spray/inhalator. Patches, lozenges and gums are available as over-the-counter (OTC) products in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific, while the nasal spray/inhalator is only available by prescription. NRT products provide the following benefits for any tobacco user,

• NRT is used as part of a tobacco cessation program
• Available as an over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription product
• Reduces withdrawal symptoms for smokers or spit tobacco users who try to quit
