Introduction

Some people find nicotine cravings the hardest thing to cope with when quitting. There are plenty of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) products out there and they can give you the extra support you need to beat the cravings. Using licensed stop-smoking medications, in combination with support from your local stop-smoking service, means you are four times more likely to stay quit.

How stop smoking medications work

Cigarettes contain nicotine. By smoking regularly and over a long period of time, your body becomes dependent on nicotine. Giving up smoking can cause nicotine withdrawal symptoms, which include cravings, headaches, feeling irritable and not being able to sleep. Stop smoking medicines can help you manage these withdrawal symptoms.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) including patches, gum, lozenges, inhalator and mouth spray are all available from the service and can also be bought from pharmacies without a prescription and other shops (such as supermarkets).

All are effective treatments to help you stop smoking, but you may find one suits you more than another. There are lots of things to consider, so we recommend that you speak to one of our specialist Stop Smoking Practitioners.
