Nicotine Replacement Therapy Is Safe, Effective
In light of today’s announcement by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that it has removed a prescription anti-smoking pill from their approved list of safe medications for pilots and air-traffic controllers, it’s important to note this news does not include nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) which is deemed safe and effective. Further, recent research has found the Commit 4 mg lozenge has been clinically proven to help reverse nicotine withdrawal symptoms associated with quitting smoking including the following: difficulty concentrating, attention deficit, short-term memory deficit and selective attention deficit — some of the issues at the core of today’s report.
In 1994, the FAA requested the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) assemble an expert panel to examine the effects of smoking and tobacco addiction and withdrawal on pilot performance and airline safety. As part of the panel’s conclusion, they found NRT to be safe, effective treatment option for pilots who smoke. Those recommendations stand to this day.
