At what minimum age can nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) products be purchased?

  1. 16

  2. 18

  3. 21

  4. 25

The correct answer is: 18

Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) products, such as nicotine gum, patches, and lozenges, are designed to help individuals quit smoking by reducing withdrawal symptoms. In the United States, the minimum age to purchase NRT products is 18. This age requirement is in place to ensure that these products are used safely and effectively by individuals who are old enough to understand their proper usage and potential side effects. It is important for individuals considering NRT to consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist to determine the most appropriate product and dosage for their needs. The options A, C, and D are incorrect as the minimum age to purchase NRT products is 18, as per regulations in the United States.
