The following article on Nicotine Replacement Therapy is taken from my up and coming book on "Understanding The Right Ways To Stop Smoking."
Nicotine Replacement Therapy works by replacing the way nicotine is administered in your body. NRT does not contain all the harmful chemicals that a cigarette contains so they are safe for you to take while you are weaning yourself off of cigarettes.
