Using NRT properly

The last post talked about nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and its various forms such as gum, patches or inhalers. NRT can be really helpful in getting you past the initial heavy cravings and withdrawal symptoms that people get when they quit smoking, which are often the reason that they fail. If you have decided to quit, and you’re thinking of using NRT, there are some things you need to consider:

Make sure you have the right kind of NRT

The person to advise you on this is your GP, or there may be a specific advisor for quitting smoking in your local health service (which your GP can refer you to). There are some types of NRT that are not suitable for everyone (e.g. pregnant or breastfeeding women) and there will be a particular type that will be right for you, although you might need to try a couple of different types before you find the right one.

Follow the instructions carefully

Each type of NRT will come with instructions, and it is vital that you read these carefully and adhere to the guidelines, as failing to do so may hinder your progress towards a smoke free life.

Use the right amount of NRT

When you start using NRT you’ll have to use the amount recommended in the instructions, but as you adjust you will need to gradually reduce the amount. Don’t go too quickly, it’s better to gradually come off the medicine, and don’s stop completely until you are sure you’re ready.

Don’t smoke whilst you’re using NRT

This will not help your progress towards quitting. But if you do have a weak moment, don’t just stop using the NRT, keep at it and you’ll succeed in the long run.
