How can using nicotine replacement therapy help me quit smoking?
When you stop smoking, your body will begin to crave the nicotine it used to get from cigarettes. Some people have severe withdrawal symptoms when they stop using tobacco. You may feel grouchy and on edge. These withdrawal symptoms, and others, can make it very difficult to quit. In fact, many people return to smoking just to get rid of the withdrawal symptoms. Using nicotine replacement products can ease your withdrawal symptoms. This makes it easier for you to quit smoking and avoid a relapse.
