    IntroductionThe buccal absorption of nicotine replacement therapy is a part of the treatment to quit smoking. In some cases, this use could last more than six months.Methods And ResultsWe report the case of a woman, former smoker, who took nicotine gums for over five years and was treated successfully with Varenicline during six months according to the recommended posology.DiscussionVarenicline, a partial alpha 4 beta 2 nicotinic receptor agonist, could be a solution to help former smokers to stop long-term use of nicotine gums or lozenges. Further studies will be necessary to confirm this result.
