Most definitely! Nicotine
Most definitely! Nicotine Replacement Therapy is essential for most people trying to quit as the withdrawls can be intense and that's what causes many people to go back to smoking. So NRT is highly recommended.
While this may be true, it’s
While this may be true, it’s important to note that, as with any drug, nicotine replacement options have side effects. Some people get gastric upset, mood changes and even heart rhythm irregularities, and these are only some of the side effects. In addition, you’ll have to wean yourself off the nicotine replacement therapy, essentially kicking two bad habits.
I quit with a combination of smoking cessation and behavior modification, so I would argue that it is essential to use nicotine replacement drugs. One of the best ways to quit smoking is to develop a multi-faceted plan with your doctor addressing the physical, emotional and social addiction to smoking. No matter what road you choose, talk to your doctor. He or she can guide you to resources addressing all the reasons you smoke.
