Why is it so difficult to quit smoking?

Quitting smoking sounds simple, but anyone who’s tried to quit will tell you that it’s much more difficult than it sounds. This is because your body becomes dependent on the nicotine in cigarettes and when you try to quit your body goes through withdrawal symptoms. This makes you crave cigarettes, making you feel like quitting is impossible. However, some options can help to make quitting smoking easier, increasing your chances of quitting for good.

 

How does this spray use NRT to ease my nicotine cravings?

Nicorette QuickMist Duo uses a method called Nicotine Replacement Therapy or NRT to help you to quit smoking. It contains 1mg of nicotine in every spray, giving your body the nicotine, it craves without having to smoke. In this way, it replaces your cigarettes or cigars, helping you to manage your cravings and withdrawal symptoms as you quit without the harmful effects of smoking.
