Tobacco products are addictive and it is easier to quit smoking with help.
There is a range of medical products available that can double your chances of success. These need to be prescribed by a doctor and are listed on the Pharmaceu-tical Benefits Scheme, which makes them cheaper. Correct usage of these products has been shown to double the chances of stop-ping smoking among heavy smokers. If you have recently had a heart attack, are pregnant, or you are breast feeding, talk to your doctor before using these products. NRT works by replacing the nicotine obtained from cigarettes with nicotine deliv-ered by the gum, patch or inhaler.
