It replaces some of the nicotine you’re not getting from cigarettes and helps lessen the effects of your withdrawal symptoms. When used as part of a comprehensive behavioral smoking cessation program, Habitrol has been clinically proven to increase the chances of quitting smoking in the critical first three months. That’s when the nicotine withdrawal symptoms force many people back to smoking.

Habitrol is a drug indicated as an aid to smoking cessation for the relief of nicotine withdrawal symptoms. Its effectiveness has been established only as part of a comprehensive behavioral smoking cessation program. It won’t work for everyone. In studies during the first 3 months after quitting, Habitrol has been shown to increase the chances of stopping smoking. Long-term studies of Habitrol haven’t been conducted. It shouldn’t be used for more than 3 months.
Habitrol, like cigarettes, contains nicotine, so stop smoking completely before starting Habitrol. And do not smoke or use anything with nicotine while on it. If you’re pregnant or nursing (nicotine could cause fatal harm) or have heart disease, or other conditions, ask your doctor about other ways to stop smoking. If you’re taking prescription medicine or under a doctor’s care, ask your doctor about the potential risks of Habitrol. Habitrol hasn’t been studied in pregnant women or in patients under 18. Used and unused Habitrol systems should be kept out of the reach of children and pets.
