Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) is the most commonly used form of FDA-approved quit smoking medications. NRT reduces withdrawal feelings by giving you a small amount of nicotine with none of the other dangerous chemicals found in cigarettes. The nicotine patch is one type of NRT. It can be used by itself every day to control withdrawal symptoms and the urge to smoke, or it may be used with nicotine gum or lozenges as needed for strong cravings. This video offers step-by-step instructions on the proper usage of the nicotine patch by itself. • For more information on how NRT can help you become smokefree, you can go to: https://smokefree.gov/veterans/tools-... • Using medication together with behavioral counseling gives you the best chance of quitting smoking. Talk with your health care provider about the best medication for you. • This video is a part of the SmokefreeVET partnership between the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the National Cancer Institute’s Smokefree.gov Initiative.
