The ineffectiveness of Nicotine Replacement Therapy

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a popular treatment used around the world in controlling smoking. In this treatment, the smoker is asked to try NRT products that will help people get off the smoking habit easily.

This method seldom works because NRT products use nicotine to fight nicotine. In other words, a person who uses NRT actually takes in smaller quantities of nicotine in order to quench their thirst for the substance. In a majority of cases, the addiction remains.

Below is a list of NRT-based products:

1. Nicotine gum
2. Nicotine patches - This is worn on the skin
3. Nicotine inhaler
4. Nicotine nasal spray

Some of the side-effects observed are as under:

1. Stomach pain
2. Heartache
3. Mouth pain
4. Headache
5. Skin rashes
6. Cough
7. Scratch throat
8. Iregular sleep

While NRT is ineffective, there are other products that have been proven effective. NicoNot is foremost among them. Have you tried this simple tablet yet?
