What is Therapeutic Nicotine and how it helps beat cigarette smoking

December 18th, 2007 · No Comments

Smoking is addictive due to the presence of nicotine. Nicotine addiction is a progressively worsening condition that alters the brain’s chemical structure and causes one to crave more with time. Sudden drop in the supply of nicotine to the brain can throw the brain’s activity amuck and create insuppressible craving for nicotine.  Cigarettes are the easiest and fastest drug delivering method to the brain. So quitting can be quite a task for the smoker.

Quitting is one of the hardest things for a smoker as this means that he has to keep a check on the cravings and also take care of his behavioral habits that can trigger any of these cravings. In the process of quitting there maybe a method that one can opt for which is the use of therapeutic nicotine.

Therapeutic nicotine is an alternative and controlled form of nicotine delivery that can ease the cravings slowly so as not to allow the smoker to revert back to smoking. Therapeutic nicotine can come in various forms and it is a cleaner and more moderate form of delivering nicotine to the body, without the harmful side effects of the other chemicals that accompany the cigarette smoke.

Therapeutic nicotine does not need a doctor’s prescription. The kind of therapeutic nicotine that is good for you is based on the severity of your nicotine dependency. The different types of therapeutic nicotine that are available in the market today can come in three different forms, namely patches, gum or lozenges. Which one suit you best must be determined by yourself depending on the extent of individual nicotine dependency.

The patches can be applied on any part of your body and they have a timed release of nicotine and this can be slowly tempered down as the cravings reduce. Most of the companies that formulate these patches have a program that allows you to follow a scheduled way of reducing the nicotine patch use. Some people seem to derive a better release when they are either able to chew on gum or use lozenges as they can control the use and time it to substitute their cigarette use.
