Nicotine replacement Therapy NRT
NRT supports your quit attempt by helping you manage your withdrawal symptoms. Nicotine is highly addictive and it is the nicotine in cigarettes that causes people to become addicted to smoking.
NRT works by releasing nicotine steadily into your bloodstream, without the poisonous chemicals you get from tobacco smoke.
This helps to control the cravings for a cigarette.
