The NHS Stop Smoking Service provides free nicotine patches to smokers; studies show NRT roughly doubles a person's chance of quitting compared with willpower alone.
Exam Focus
Distinguish NRT clearly from drug treatments like varenicline — examiners penalise vague references to 'medication' without specifying mechanism.
