Nicotine replacement therapy
Self-control may not be enough to stop smoking immediately, which is perfectly good. Not only can you offer a range of nicotine products that fit your lifestyle, but you can also get help from nicotine replacement therapy (TRN).
Although nicotine replacement therapy is not entirely risk-free, it is an effective way to deal with your cravings and support your addiction.
It is normal for nicotine to be rapidly excreted from your body when you quit smoking, so those withdrawal symptoms such as:
- Bad mood
- Feel irritated
- Difficulty concentrating
Did you know? Does using combination therapy increase the likelihood of termination by 50 to 70% compared to those who don’t use anything? **
Common anti-smoking products are nicotine patches, lozenges, sprays, liquids and vapours, rubber inhalers. There are even apps that can help you with this and provide schedules that inspire you and achieve your goals. It’s about what works for you.
