Nicotine substitutes are nicotine-based medicines sold in pharmacies without a prescription. Their effectiveness in treating physical dependence has been amply demonstrated by scientific studies.
When sufficiently dosed and prolonged, they reduce the nicotine withdrawal symptoms that smokers may experience at the start of quitting.
It's the same basic molecule, but the way it enters the body is very different. In the case of cigarettes, nicotine enters the pulmonary arterial system very quickly, reaching the brain in a matter of seconds. In the case of nicotine substitutes, it diffuses very slowly via the venous route, passing through the skin in the case of patches, and through the oral mucosa in the case of chewing gum, tablets and inhalers. This different mode of penetration does not have the same consequences. In particular, nicotine substitutes produce little or no psychic dependence.
The other major difference is that nicotine substitutes allow you to absorb only nicotine, whereas tobacco smoke also contains four thousand toxic substances.
Signs of overdose are easy to recognize: diarrhea, nausea, pasty mouth, insomnia, the feeling of having smoked too much. Simply peel off the patch for a few hours to reduce the dosage, and you'll be back on track in no time.

Smoking cessation is a difficult process, involving the abandonment of nicotine dependence. Medication can be a valuable tool to help smokers quit and reduce withdrawal symptoms.
There are several types of medication that can be used to help smokers quit. Nicotine substitutes, such as nicotine patches, gums and inhalers, offer a source of nicotine without the harmful chemicals found in cigarettes. These medications are intended to help reduce nicotine withdrawal symptoms, such as irritability and cravings, and can be used alone or in combination with other medications.
Another type of medication used to help quit smoking is bupropion, an antidepressant that acts on the brain's reward system. Bupropion can help reduce cravings and improve mood. It can be used alone or in combination with a nicotine substitute.
There are also medications that act on nicotine receptors in the brain, such as varenicline. These drugs block nicotine's action on the receptors and can help reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms. However, varenicline can cause side effects such as headaches, nausea and irritability, and should be used with caution in some people, such as those suffering from depression or other mental disorders.
It's important to talk to a doctor or healthcare professional before starting treatment with smoking cessation medications . The doctor can help determine the best treatment plan based on the person's smoking history, medical history and any other medications he or she is already taking.
In addition to medication, it's important to follow a smoking cessation program that includes counseling or support sessions to help manage smoking habits and associated emotions. Support groups and online programs can also be a valuable source of support.
