Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am thinking about quitting smoking and have heard about the impact nicotine has in the process. Can you give information about the usage of nicotine replacement therapy or alternative strategies for quitting smoking? Are there any particular strategies or products that use regulated nicotine intake to help people stop smoking and manage nicotine withdrawal symptoms?
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Nicotine replacement treatment provides nicotine in the form of inhalers, lozenges, gum patches, and sprays made from compounds that are less harmful to the body than tobacco found in cigarettes. So nicotine replacement treatment helps to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and thus improves the patient's physical and psychological ability to quit smoking.
I hope this helps. Thank you.
