NICOTINE REPLACEMENT THERAPY
About...
Nicotine replacement therapy, or NRT, has been shown to significantly increase the l chances of sustaining a successful quit attempt. NRT gives you nicotine to help manage cravings without the harmful chemicals in smokes or many unregulated vapes. By taking away some of the physical withdrawal symptoms caused by nicotine dependence, you can focus on the behavioural aspects of quitting and creating new healthy habits.
At Which Way? we use the Nicorette NRT products, however, there are many different brands which are equally effective. NRT include long-acting products (patches), and short-acting products (gum, sprays, lozenges, and mints). NRT works best when you use patches (long acting) for a slow release of nicotine in combination with a short-acting product for a quick relief during a craving. This is called combination NRT (or c-NRT). Check out more information about the different types of NRT, and how to use them, below!
Which Way? is all about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples self-determining the right way to quit for them. The Our Stories booklet has been developed to share knowledge, skills and resources on how to quit and stay quit using Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT). You don't need to use NRT to successfully quit smoking or vaping, but we do know that when our mob are given access to NRT and shown how to use it the right way, over 90% make a quit attempt and more than half successfully quit long term.
