In the current pharmaceutical industry, there are several available quit smoking aids; roughly divided into nicotine replacement products (NRP) and non-nicotine products. The different products are used to stop smoking and each carrying with it their own pros and cons. The comparison of the different cessation aids are summarized below

Nicorette gum is another good nicotine replacement product but can cause jaw pain when used excessively. Soft drinks and coffee used before chewing can also affect the rapid relief that you will get so if you need the immediate relief from nicotine, and inhaler might be more effective.

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.
