Nicotine replacement therapy uses gums or patches that will help to reduce the withdrawal symptoms. The theory behind the use of these products is that the nicotine absorption is low enough that it doesn’t provide the same pleasure as smoking an actual cigarette but it does help to alleviate the symptoms of withdrawal from the drug.
It’s important that the gum or patches aren’t used when a person is actually smoking because it can easily lead to an overdose of nicotine. An overdose or toxicity will lead to heart arrhythmias, nausea, headache and dangerous complications that will require immediate medical attention.
There are other nicotine delivery systems that include inhalers or nasal sprays that more closely mimic the delivery and impact of nicotine that’s obtained by smoking.
The treatment uses the magnets for 3-4 hours each day for six days while the smoker continues to smoke as usual. On the seventh day the smoker can reportedly quit smoking without cravings while continuing to wear the magnets for another 20-25 days. The product reportedly will eliminate cravings and desire to smoke without the use of drugs, pills, patches or gum.
