Nicotine-replacement therapy is designed to temper the acute symptoms of withdrawal, such as irritability, sleeplessness and anxiety. Nowadays you have a choice between gum, skin patches or nasal sprays. These substitutes still deliver nicotine to your bloodstream, but more slowly than smoking does and at a lower dose. Gums and sprays work more quickly to ease withdrawal, although doctors report that these products are also subject to abuse. Many people find the patches easier to use, and they are better suited to those who suffer from nasal allergies or sinusitis. Pregnant women, heart patients and folks with high blood...
...sound of his beloved Velvet Underground and the Stooges with the typical teen rock concerns of girls, driving and insecurity, shot through with an unnerving simplicity and directness like nothing else in rock then or now.

Renee's songs may have varied subjects (she wrote or co-wrote every song on the album), but they invariably share one thing: a sharp melodic hook. The listener, once caught, is reeled in quickly. Renee has a nasal, adventurous soprano that stands out in contrast to the mellow, unobtrusive croons of many of today's best-selling R.-and-B. vocalists. She's a new voice that's hard to forget...
