In the therapy only nicotine is provided not the other harmful chemicals like carbon monoxide etc.
Nicotine therapy works against the withdrawal symptoms and also against the craving. Most of the smokers can quit smoking even without utilizing this therapy but the problem is smoking is difficult to quit in the first try. Telling you the truth it can take up to 7-10 tries to quit smoking, in fact.

Most of the NRT products are recommended to the people depending on the rate they smoke. There are different products for light, average or a chain smoker but the thing is there are no special limits defined for the classification of the smokers. But generally for smokers who are considered to be light smoker are those who smoke 10 cigarettes a day while a chain smoker is one who never let his hands and lisp free from cigarettes.
You can also estimate about your category of smoker, consulting your doctor. Doctors generally use a term " pack Year" to define the category you may belong to, this term is also a way to make your doctor aware about the diseases you are getting in each passing year.
