Such tablets can eliminate the greatest danger from smoking - inhaling harmful substances released with cigarette smoke. Also nicotine replacement tablets prevent the development of signs of dependence, i.e. The state when the body requires a regular dose of nicotine.

The downside of tablets of this kind is that the dependence on nicotine (or substituting substances) remains.
