NICOTINE REPLACEMENT THERAPY (NRT) FAQS
Question
Can I use both nicotine gum and the patch?
Click here for the answer
Yes, if you continue to have cravings while on the patch, it is reasonable to use nicotine gum in addition to the patch to treat sudden cravings or urges to smoke. Using two types of NRT in this way can be better than using only one type of NRT.
Question
Does NRT cause cancer?
Click here for the answer
No. Although there are over 60 chemicals in cigarette smoke that cause cancer, none of these are in NRT.
Question
Can I become addicted to NRT?
Click here for the answer
The risk of becoming addicted to NRT is small – much smaller than the risks of continuing to smoke. About 1 in 20 people who use NRT to stop smoking continue to use it in the longer term. It is easier to stop using NRT than to stop smoking. This is because the dose of nicotine in NRT is not as high as in cigarettes and NRT doesn’t give the same satisfaction as smoking.
