Nicotine replacement products (NRP) (aka Nicotine replacement therapy) have always been part of a smoking cessation armament. It helps reduce much of the psychological and physiological symptoms associated with nicotine withdrawal as well as reduces the side effects of quitting smoking. This can increase the chances of quitting smoking. All forms of NRP (gum, skin patchs, nasal spray, inhaler and sublingual tablets/lozenges) are somewhat equally effective and they increase the odds of quitting by 1.5 to 2 fold regardless of setting. (Silagy, Cochrane 2007) This means smokers are much better off with NRT than without.
