Myth: Smokers under 18 should not use NRT. 

 
Fact: Most daily smokers begin smoking before age 18. The nicotine patch and gum are far safer than smoking. NRT should be considered for all smokers who need NRT to quit, including those under 18. As with other medications for adolescents, the NRT dosage should be modified to the smoker’s needs and a physician should always be consulted.
