Is nicotine replacement right for you?

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) works differently to cigarettes. It does not contain toxic chemicals like tar or carbon monoxide, and does not cause cancer. NRT is suitable for most people, however you should check with your doctor if you’re pregnant, have a heart or circulatory condition or if you take regular medication.

Depressed mood, that in rare cases includes suicidal ideation and suicide attempt, may be a symptom of nicotine withdrawal. Smoking cessation, with or without medication, has also been associated with the exacerbation of underlying psychiatric illness (e.g. depression). If you’re concerned about this, please speak to your Doctor, Nurse or NHS Stop Smoking Advisor.
