2. Nicotine gum
The shape of nicotine gum is similar to regular chewing gum. If you want to use alternative tobacco products of this type to control the urge to smoke, follow the rules of use. Side effects of nicotine gum include throat irritation, nausea, heartburn, and a racing heart.
3. Electric cigarettes
Using e-cigarettes is considered better than burning cigarettes. Doctor Abi explained that this alternative product has a much lower danger than ordinary cigarettes. The recommended e-cigarettes are in the form of a closed system, or better known as “pods” so they cannot be misused by adding other additional compounds. If used properly, e-cigarettes can be quite an effective way to quit smoking.
From the explanation above, it can be understood that alternative tobacco products still have risks. However, alternative tobacco products have a lower risk to health than cigarettes.
Even so, keep in mind that these products are not completely safe for health. There are several risks that may occur if it continues to be consumed.
The best solution in avoiding the dangers of smoking is of course not to start smoking or to stop smoking altogether (zero risk).
