A member asked:
If long term use of nrt lozenge can cause increase in endogenous nnn/nnk via metabolism in 1/2 of people, are they still much safer than cigs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unsure: Nicotine replacement is just one form of nicotine (gum, patch, lozenge or smokeless cigarette) for another (cigarettes). Nicotine will still be in your system just not the other toxins from cigarettes. Therefore nicotine metabolites will be in your system. Should still try to quit completely versus replacing one form over another.
