Nicotine is dependence-forming. Tobacco and consumer nicotine products should be distinguished from approved smoking-cessation medicines.

Nicotine information
Nicotine replacement therapy
Cessation treatment may include nicotine patches, gum or lozenges and certain prescription products. Counseling and medication can be combined as part of a quit plan.
Sources: CDC — Treating tobacco dependence
Product-specific risks
Excess nicotine can cause nausea, vomiting, dizziness and heart-rate changes; severe poisoning can cause seizures. Keep nicotine products away from children. Medicine side effects and tobacco-product risks should be assessed using the exact product.

Choosing treatment
A clinician or pharmacist can help select an appropriate replacement product and schedule. This page does not infer medicine directions from a vape liquid or pouch strength.

Nicotine dependence and withdrawal
Nicotine dependence can make stopping tobacco use difficult. Craving and withdrawal are part of a treatment assessment, not proof that continued tobacco exposure is medically necessary. Repeated quit attempts may benefit from continuing support.

Product identity and exposure
Tobacco, concentrated nicotine liquids and medical products are different preparations. A percentage, liquid volume or pouch count cannot be compared without the concentration and formulation. Accidental exposure can cause poisoning, especially in children.

Treatment context
Evidence-based tobacco-dependence care can combine behavioral support with appropriate medication. Bupropion and varenicline are non-nicotine medicines; a list of cessation treatments should not imply that all of them contain nicotine.

Nicotine versus tobacco-related harm
A nicotine-containing product and a tobacco product need their actual ingredients and route considered. Removing combustion does not establish that every alternative product is harmless, and a consumer product is not automatically a cessation medicine.
