Substitutes for cigarettes today come in different forms and doses of nicotine. Nicotine is the chemical released on burning tobacco. Smokers get hooked to cigarettes because of nicotine’s ability to act as stimulant. When an individual picks up his first cigarette, the effects of nicotine are not realized. As an individual continues to smoke, the brain realizes the effects of nicotine and thus the body starts accepting it. The need to continuously get a high from nicotine is the widely accepted reason for tobacco addiction.

Treatment with substitutes for cigarettes which administer doses of nicotine to the body instead of tobacco, fall under the category of nicotine replacement therapy. The products include –

Trans-dermal patches – These patches also called as nicotine patches can be fixed on the skin to deliver doses of nicotine. There are several patches available which are designed to deliver decreasing doses in order to aid in the process of quitting tobacco.

The patches come in different doses and in different sizes. Usually these patches need to be fixed to arm. Patches today are not very thick and their presence is unnoticeable.

Though nicotine patches are expensive, they are by far among the most common products used for nicotine replacement. Several studies have found that these patches are most effective with others forms of medication.

Nicotine chewing gum – Considered the most common nicotine replacement product, the chewing gum comes in two doses. The 2 mg dose, which delivers about 1 mg into the blood stream, is meant for light smokers while the 4 mg gum which delivers about 3 mg into the bloodstream is meant for heavy smokers. The gum should be chewed until a peppery sensation can be felt at the back of the throat and then should be parked between gum and cheeks, to allow for nicotine absorption. This process is repeated till all nicotine has been absorbed. Health experts recommend usage in a decreasing fashion to ensure reducing dependence on nicotine. However there have been reports of addiction to gum which later has led to reverting to smoking as gum is comparatively expensive. In most countries, the gum is available over the counter.

Medications which produce effects similar to nicotine are also available for smokers trying to quit. Often medical experts prescribe a replacement along with some form of medication designed to help you quit smoking. However the side effects of such medications must also be taken into account when considering using them. Lozenges, sprays and inhalers are other substitutes for nicotine use. When opting to cut down on smoking through the use of substitutes, consulting a medical expert is warranted. This would help in the formulation of a plan to ensure that replacement only assists in helping cut down nicotine dependence but does not substantiate. An expert would suggest you a certain pattern of usage after understanding your smoking history. Keeping in view your medical condition and also the side effects of nicotine itself, the best substitute along with usage plan would be recommended.
