NRT is a licensed medicine and works by providing a controlled, lower dose of nicotine without the harmful chemicals in cigarettes.
When you use products such as patches, gum, lozenges, or sprays, nicotine enters your bloodstream and helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
This allows your body to adjust gradually, easing the transition to a smoke-free life while boosting your chances of quitting for good.
NRT keeps your brain satisfied, so you can focus on breaking the smoking habit without the stress.
Smoking costs money as well as affecting your health. Cigarettes are expensive, and quitting can save you money now, as well as save on future health costs.
Based on someone who smokes 20 cigarettes a day, at a cost of £15 per pack you could save a massive £5,475 a year. That’s £465 a month, £105 a week.
