Giving up smoking is never easy. Whether you smoke sixty a day or just half a dozen, the cravings can be hard to cope with.
There are now more products to help you stop smoking than ever before with the likes of Nicorette and Niquitin producing a wide range of aids to enable people to give up for good.
Below you'll find a quick guide to some of the most popular Nicorette and Niquitin products together with some information on how they work.
Nicotine patches from Niquitin are available in different strengths depending on what stage of the quitting process you're at.
Niquitin clear patches are clear so nobody will know you're using them. They work by releasing the right amount of nicotine into your body as and when it's needed, thereby reducing cravings for cigarettes.
Nicorette gum comes in a variety of flavours and strengths to suit all smokers who either want to cut down or stop smoking completely. A lot of people don't like to tell others when they're trying to give up smoking, and Nicorette gum is a discreet way of going about it.
Chewing nicotine mints from Niquitin is a good way to help reduce cigarette cravings while keeping your breath fresh. With two different strengths to choose from (low and high), they are a very popular choice with smokers all over the UK.
Carrying around small packs of Niquitin mints is also a lot less conspicuous than some of the other aids on the market such as inhalators.
Nicorette has launched a unique mouth spray to deal with nicotine cravings. The QuickMist spray is small enough to fit into your bag or coat pocket, making it a portable form of nicotine replacement therapy.
A quick spray can help quell nicotine cravings and suits many people who don't like chewing gum or having to wear a nicotine patch.
Niquitin lozenges, like mints, are a convenient and discreet way to combat nicotine cravings without it being obvious.
Again, the lozenges come in a variety of strengths depending on how many cigarettes you're used to smoking per day.
