Nicorette is a brand of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) products, including gum, patches, lozenges, and inhalers. It is primarily used to help people quit smoking by delivering controlled doses of nicotine without the harmful chemicals found in tobacco. While highly addictive, nicotine itself (when not smoked) has been anecdotally and in some studies linked to cognitive stimulation and potential neuroprotective effects against conditions like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.

""Andrew Huberman recounted an anecdote about Nobel Prize winner Richard Axel, who chewed multiple pieces of Nicorette gum for cognitive stimulation and believed it was neuroprotective. Huberman acknowledged the neuroprotective data but also warned about its highly habit-forming and addictive nature, making it a specific product discussed for its effects."
