Nicotine Replacement Therapies $

Nicotine Replacement Therapies provide a small dose of nicotine in a controlled amount. Since nicotine is what makes smoking addictive, the NRTs can help provide a small amount of it so you don’t feel the withdrawal symptoms as much. You can then lower the doses down until you no longer need the nicotine at all. There are different types and flavors to help you quit in the long run. Common NRTs are patches, gum, lozenge, nasal sprays, and inhalers. It is important to note that a NRT inhaler is NOT a vaping device.

NRTs are available over the counter and via a prescription, depending on what kind you use. OTC options are available at pharmacies, grocery stores, and even Costco.

The cost varies depending on the type, where you get them, and your insurance. Many of these options are available over the counter, but if you’re looking for free or low-cost options, contact your healthcare provider or the WA Quitline for more information.
