There are many types of Nicotine Replacement Therapy that a smoker can choose from to help him with his problems on quitting smoking: nicotine nasal spray, nicotine inhalers, and nicotine lozenges. All these NRT types have their own ways as to how they work and what advantages and disadvantages they bring to the user. These qualities help a smoker choose what type would best fit him in his fight against nicotine addiction. The Nicotine Nasal Spray brings nicotine into the bloodstream through the nose. It helps control nicotine cravings and ease withdrawal symptoms quickly but unlike other types of NRT, a prescription is required before you can get hold of it. This type of NRT is easy to use and so most smokers prefer it. The FDA though recommends that it should be used for a maximum of 6 months as it still contains nicotine that is highly addictive. Most users would experience discomforts like nasal irritation, sneezing, watery eyes, coughing, and runny nose when they use nicotine nasal sprays. Users who have allergies and asthma are also advised to use other types of NRT. Nicotine Inhaler is composed of a cartridge containing small tubes with nicotine content in them. As you take a puff from the inhaler, the cartridge gives out nicotine vapor but unlike most inhalers, the vapor is delivered to the mouth and not into the lungs. Its mechanism is that like of a cigarette and so smokers favor it too. This is another type of NRT that requires prescription, is quite expensive, and only a recommended dose of 6 to 16 cartridges in a day for 6 months is allowed. Most common side effects of inhalers are throat irritation, coughing and even upset stomach. Nicotine Lozenges is an over-the counter type of NRT and is the latest to be introduced in the market. Like the nicotine gum, it comes in two doses of 2 and 4 mg. Most professionals would instruct a user to take 1 lozenge every 2 hours for 6 weeks, then another lozenge every 4 hours for the next 3 weeks. On the 10th to the 12th week, only 1 lozenge is to be taken every 8 hours. It has been found out though that lozenges can cause coughing, nausea, hiccups, heartburn, headaches, and some trouble sleeping so never use more than 20 lozenges in a day. These types of nicotine replacement therapy all aim to help you fight back against your nicotine addiction. If you plan to use any of the methods, choose what's best for you and remember to use them properly. Related Articles: Top Rated Quit Smoking Products Stop Smoking Using An Herbal Aroma Nose Inhaler
