How can the nicotine polacrilex gum and lozenge (Nicorette) help users in terms of weight?

  1. Increase metabolism

  2. Suppress appetite

  3. Reduce/delay weight gain

  4. Have no effect on weight

The correct answer is: Reduce/delay weight gain

Nicotine polacrilex gum and lozenge (Nicorette) can help users in terms of weight by reducing or delaying weight gain. Nicotine replacement therapy products like Nicorette can help individuals manage their weight by partially replacing the nicotine they were obtaining from smoking, therefore reducing the urge to eat more or snack frequently, which can lead to weight gain after quitting smoking. This option is correct because using nicotine replacement products can help mitigate the weight gain often associated with smoking cessation.
