U.K. advises smokers to use nicotine products to try to quit

In advice issued Wednesday, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence said people unable to give up cigarettes in a single attempt should switch to licensed nicotine products, including gum, sprays and patches to at least reduce how much they smoke.
