How does NRT work?

Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) works by delivering nicotine into your body without the tar, carbon monoxide and other poisonous chemicals that are found in cigarettes. This means you can still get some nicotine, without experiencing all the health risks of smoking. Once your nicotine withdrawal symptoms are controlled you will find it easier to kick the habit of smoking.
