Using nicotine patches, gum, lozenges, inhalers or sublingual (under-the-tongue) tablets can also help, particularly if you’re a daily smoker. NRT has helped many people quit.

And just remember: When you’re using NRT, you’re still getting a dose of nicotine – so it’s important not to smoke as well.

To make sure you’re using the right amount in the right way – talk to a pharmacist, read the product information in and on the pack, call Quitline (13 7848) or talk with your doctor.
