Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) is becoming very popular as more and more people trying to kick the habit. NRT includes products such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and inhalers. But really work?



When you want to stop smoking you need to cure physical desire for nicotine and you have to break the psychological habit of smoking cigarettes. With NRT products like Nicoderm, the body is supplied daily with small amounts of nicotine. The dose is gradually reduced over a period of time until it went the physical need for cigarettes.



At the same time, the more you go without a cigarette will be more successful in breaking the mental habit as well. The great advantage of NRT than the ' cold turkey ' is that withdrawal symptoms associated with smoking cessation are greatly reduced.



NRT remedies have a reasonably good success rate — about twice that of trying to quit on your own. Why is this? One of the ways to quit smoking is taking fewer cigarettes each day until you reach zero, then stopped, right? Wrong-you already know this since you have probably tried out this way. NRT has the advantage of providing a more structured approach to help you stop. First of all it is impossible to continue to smoke after startup of the program or the ingestion of too much nicotine. So you have to give up the cigarette habit '. Secondly you paid good money for care, then there is some motivation to see.



After the 12 weeks they got through the worst part. However, temptation to reach for a cigarette on the occasion will still be there. At this point could turn to other methods such as support groups (such as nicotine anonymous) or hypnosis to keep you from starting again.



A major criticism that is leveled at NRT is that it is continuing to take the nicotine. It is true that could, for example, continue with nicotine gum instead of smoking cigarettes after supposedly ' exit '. This is a real risk that can be reduced to try one of the alternative methods mentioned above, stop smoking (support groups, hypnosis) as well as NRT.



In the end, though, it's safe to say that NRT methods work and offer the smoker is one of the best ways to quit smoking than going alone. You still need motivation though, because the products NRT alone may not be sufficient.
