  • NRT and young people

    This briefing answers the question we are often asked: which NRT products are licensed for use by young people under 18 years of age?

    NRT can be considered safe and effective for young people aged 12-17, but the evidence isn't as strong as for adults because there simply hasn't been as much research carried out on this age group. The recommendation for use of NRT by young people aged 11-17 differs by manufacturer and product, and this briefing summarises this information.
