Can I use nicotine gum, nicotine patches or nicotine lozenges during the Challenge?
Yes, using a smoking cessation aid can greatly help some people quit. If you choose to use the patch, gum, inhaler or lozenge, it may show up in the biochemical test; however, the test will indicate if someone has been smoking versus using a nicotine replacement therapy product. We encourage people to use the aids they need to help them quit. Talking with your health care professional can help you find the best option for you.
