Description

NiQuitin Minis Mint 1.5mg Lozenges help you to stop smoking, whether you want to stop straightaway or reduce the number of cigarettes you smoke, perhaps before stopping completely. It works 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 Minis Mint 1.5mg Lozenges reduces your cravings for cigarettes and helps 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.

NiQuitin Minis Mint 1.5mg Lozenges can also be used in situations where you are unable or unwilling to smoke, such as on aeroplanes or around children.

NiQuitin Minis Mint 1.5mg Lozenges should be used by those who smoke up to 20 cigarettes a day. If you smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day then start with NiQuitin Minis Mint 4mg Lozenges.

NiQuitin Minis Mint 1.5mg Lozenges are supplied in a handy pocket-sized dispenser for fast craving relief wherever and whenever you need it.

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