Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) became available over-the-counter (OTC) in the 1990's. The purpose of NRT is to substitute another source of nicotine while cigarettes are discontinued. By this means, the habit of smoking is eliminated, even though the addiction to nicotine remains intact. NRT eliminates the symptoms of withdrawal that can trigger more smoking.
