Nicorette

Nicorette is a brand of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) products designed to help individuals quit smoking. These products typically contain nicotine, the addictive substance in tobacco, but are delivered in a controlled manner and without the harmful chemicals found in cigarettes.

Nicorette products are available in various forms, including:

• Gum: Nicotine gum is chewed to release nicotine, which is absorbed through the lining of the mouth.
• Lozenges: Nicotine lozenges dissolve slowly in the mouth, releasing nicotine gradually.
• Patches: Nicotine patches are applied to the skin and deliver a steady dose of nicotine over a prolonged period.
• Inhalers: Nicotine inhalers deliver nicotine vapor that is inhaled into the mouth.
• Mouth Sprays: Nicotine mouth sprays deliver a measured dose of nicotine into the mouth.

The purpose of Nicorette is to alleviate nicotine withdrawal symptoms, such as cravings, irritability, and difficulty concentrating, that can occur when a person stops smoking. By providing a controlled dose of nicotine, Nicorette helps smokers gradually reduce their dependence on nicotine and ultimately quit smoking.

Nicorette products are typically available over-the-counter and are often used in conjunction with behavioral therapy or counseling to improve the chances of successful smoking cessation. It's recommended that individuals consult with a healthcare professional before using Nicorette, especially if they have underlying health conditions.
