The main danger is that the person may get discouraged and stop trying to quit. Sometimes people get frightened and stop the NRT for fear of harming themselves. This is almost never warranted. If only a few cigarettes are creeping into the person's attempt to quit, it makes sense to continue the NRT and resolve how to avoid each of the last few remaining cigarettes. Most of the time people who stop smoking using NRT gradually reduce or stop NRT medicine as prescribed without any difficulty.
Some people keep using the gum, nasal spray or inhaler for a long time.
The use of NRT is always preferable to using tobacco products. While using NRT over a long time isn't usually a problem, if a person feels that it's become a problem, he or she should speak with a doctor. Inc. All rights reserved. Unauthorized use prohibited.
