Hi,
Nicotex can be used as nicotine replacement and prevents the smoke related harm. But the body is still exposed to nicotine and its adverse effects. Your husband can use Nicotex to counter his craving on quitting smoking and later stop Nicotex as well. There also is the option of using medications like bupropion and varenicline to reduce craving and make it easier to quit. Your husband can choose whatever option that he finds suitable.
Hope this is of help. Best wishes.
