Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Market Definition

Nicotine replacement therapy is a treatment that entails the administration of nicotine by smokers in the form of patches, inhalers, gums, sprays, and lozenges that are free of the toxic compounds found in tobacco. In contrast to cigarettes, which contain a large amount of nicotine and so cause lung cancer, asthma, and other chronic problems, nicotine replacement treatment uses medications that provide nicotine at a low dose. Nicotine replacement therapy reduces or eliminates tobacco intake, reducing the frequency and intensity of cravings.
