Yes, I am aware that relapse rates remain consistent despite the modality of quitting.
Some methods of NRT become a cigarette replacement, not a method of quitting nicotine. Gum is the NRT that I've seen to be the most likely, though the argument can be made that vaping yields similar results.
NRT can make it easier. Despite the studies documenting that it can make you 2x more likely to stay quit, other studies have shown that the clinical trials do not translate to real life, counseling being a major difference between the two.
Most people just buy NRT and think that will do it. They don't even follow the directions most of the time (guilty). NRT will help you not smoke or vape, but one still has to develop the mentality necessary to stay quit!
