What are Niquitin Pre-Quit Clear 21mg Patches?
Niquitin Pre-Quit Patches are a treatment that is intended for people who are looking to quit smoking. These Pre-Quit Patches are a treatment that will work to reduce the cravings and the number of cigarettes that are used. This is a treatment known as Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT). NRT works by replacement the nicotine inhaled by a cigarette with a healthier option, and over time, will help to quit smoking. These Pre-Quit Patches are not intended to replace cigarettes completely; they are a first step in reducing the number of cigarettes used.
What causes nicotine addiction?
An addiction to nicotine is the result of smoking cigarettes over a period of time. This happens as a result of increased tobacco intake which contains nicotine. When nicotine gets to the brain, it causes the release of dopamine which is a neurotransmitter. A neurotransmitter is a chemical that can control functions in the body. Dopamine controls mood and behaviours and when released by the body, can improve the mood and give the feeling of pleasure. The increase in dopamine will lead to a reliance on it and cause cravings as a result. Cravings can be triggered by routines, behaviours, as well as certain actions. Knowing what can trigger your cravings can be a help when it comes to quitting smoking.
