The boom will hit England following the smoking ban in public places, according to market analyst Mintel.

Growth will continue over the next four years, with sales predicted to hit £140 million by 2011.

New products to help smokers kick the habit are being launched around the world, Mintel's global new products database shows.

In the US, a drink called Niclite has been launched which contains nicotine to help stop cravings.

And in Italy a mouth spray has been developed which is claimed to make the user feel nauseous when they smoke.

Mintel spokesman David Jago said anti-smoking laws being introduced in many countries around the world would prompt an increase in anti-smoking aids.

"Sales of products are set for a boom period, particularly in England where a ban on smoking in public places is coming into place this weekend," he said.

Mintel includes nicotine replacement lozenges, gums, patches and inhalers in its predicted sales figures for anti-smoking aids.
