• At the times or places where you can't smoke or do not want to for example smoke free areas such as public transport or in areas where you could be harming others such as being around children 

It may also help with your motivation to quit. When having support from family, friends, a support programme, doctor or pharmacist it is more likely to increase your chances of success

What Nicorette lozenges do ?

When you stop smoking or cut down the amount you smoke, your body misses the nicotine that it has been absorbing and because of this you may experience unpleasant feelings and have a craving to smoke. This indicates that you were dependent on nicotine

When you use Nicorette lozenges, nicotine is released and passes into your body through the lining of your mouth. The nicotine released is enough to relieve the unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. It will also stop your craving to smoke but without the buzz you get from smoking a cigarette. 

Benefits of using Nicorette lozenges 

The toxins inside a cigarette such as tar, lead, cyanide and ammonia cause smoking related diseases and death it is not the nicotine so by using Nicorette products to help you stop smoking you are no longer putting toxins in your body that could lead to diseases and death. You may think that cigarettes help relieve feelings of stress and anxiety, but it does not deal with the cause, meaning it still leads to a number of diseases. The feeling of relaxation after smoking is temporary. Nicotine replacement can help with these feelings when used as a replacement. Nicotine replacement therapy may benefit smokers who want to quit by helping to control weight gain that may be experienced when trying to stop smoking. 

How to use Nicorette lozenges 

• Place the lozenge in the mouth
• Let it dissolve slowly, this will release the nicotine which you will absorb through the lining of your mouth
• DO not chew or swallow the lozenge, SUCK on the lozenge to make it work 

When and which Nicorette lozenge to use 

• If you smoke 20 or less cigarettes in a day, the 2mg Nicorette lozenge will help relieve your cravings 
• The 4mg lozenge should be used by people who smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day

If you are able to stop smoking you should use the lozenge when needed in place of cigarettes. As soon as you can (this could be after weeks or months) you should reduce the number of lozenges until you have stopped using them completely.

If you feel as if you can't stop smoking or do not feel ready to quit you should try and replace as many cigarettes with Nicorette lozenges as there are many toxins in cigarettes that cause harm to your body. Whereas using Nicorette lozenges provides a safer alternative.

Most people use 8 to 12 lozenges per day. DO NOT USE MORE THAN 15 PER DAY.
