What is Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT)?

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) provides you with nicotine, the addictive part of cigarettes, without tar, carbon monoxide or any other poisonous chemicals in tobacco smoke. NRT comes in different forms including:

• Skin patches

• Chewing gum

• Lozenges

• Inhalators

• Nasal sprays

• Mouth sprays or mouth strips

If you’re struggling to stop smoking and you’re pregnant, you can get free advice and a free prescription for NRT from your GP or an NHS Stop Smoking Service
