NiQuitin Mint Lozenges

NiQuitin 2mg Mint Lozenges reduce your cravings for cigarettes and help you resist the urge to smoke, as well as relieving some of the unpleasant symptoms that smokers have when they try to give up, such as feeling ill or irritable. Whether you want to stop straightaway, reduce the number of cigarettes you smoke, perhaps before stopping or are temporarily unable to smoke, e.g. on public transport, NiQuitin 2mg Mint Lozenges can help. They work by replacing some of the nicotine you get from cigarettes (the addictive substance) without the more harmful substances you get from cigarette smoke such as tar, carbon dioxide and other toxins. This is known as Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT).

NiQuitin 2mg Mint Lozenges should be used by those who smoke their first cigarette more than 30 minutes after waking up. Smokers who smoke within half an hour of waking should start with NiQuitin 4mg Mint Lozenges.

Your chances of stopping smoking will be greatly improved if you also take part in a support programme.
