Using NRT to go smokefree

Healthwyse

Nicotine Gum: Nicotine is absorbed through the lining of your mouth when chewing the gum.

Nicotime patches: Nicotine patches work well for most smokers, and can be worn around the clock (24 hour patches) or just during the day (16 hour patches).

Microtabs: These are small tablets containing nicotine that dissolve under your tounge.

Lozenges: Lozenges are sucked slowly to release the nicotine and take 20-30 minutes to dissolve.

Nicotine Nasal Spray: The spray delivers a swift and effective dose of nicotine through the lining of your nose.

Inhalators: Much like a plastic cigarette, the inhalator releases nicotine vapour which gets absorbed through your mouth and throat. If you miss the hand to mouth action of smoking this may suit you.

Zyban: As well as nicotine replacement therapy there are other products that do not do not contain nicotine that can help you to go smokefree.
