Types of Nicotine Replacement Therapy; A Review

Abdullah Alarifi

Abstract :

 The increasing rates of tobacco smoking worldwide means there will be an increase in morbidity, mortality and annual costs to health systems. Effective interventions are needed in order to protect public health and prevent or reduce the burden of smoking. Some smoking cessation policies and interventions have helped with reducing the percentage of smokers in some countries. Pure nicotine products used in medicine (so-called Nicotine Replacement Therapy) have helped with limiting exposure to the toxic chemical substances encountered via tobacco smoking. Different types of Nicotine Replacement Therapy help in protecting public health and preventing the negative health effects of smoking. These interventions need to be improved in order to reduce the global trends of tobacco smoking and the costs to health systems.
