Since more than 30 years ago, nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) has been a popular method of aiding smokers in quitting, although many people still have misgivings about it.
NRT is viewed negatively by some people, while others see it as just as addictive as smoking.
That is not the case, though. NRT seeks to lessen cravings for nicotine, relieve withdrawal symptoms, and steer clear of the toxic compounds found in cigarette smoke. It acts as a substitute for nicotine in cigarettes by giving the brain small quantities of nicotine.
When compared to people who quit abruptly, individuals who use NRT treatments have a better likelihood of successfully breaking the habit.
