Product Description

This pack contains NiQuitin Minis 4mg which are for smokers who smoke 20 cigarettes or more a day. They can help you give up smoking straightaway. They can also help you cut down smoking before stopping completely. If you think you can stop smoking straightaway, then you should because this is usually best. However, if you feel this is too big a step, then you may wish to try cutting down the amount of cigarettes you smoke as a first step before stopping completely.

It is the Nicotine in cigarettes that can make you physically addicted to them. NiQuitin Minis 4mg replace some of the Nicotine you get from cigarettes. This Nicotine relieves some of the unpleasant symptoms that smokers may have when they try to give up. These include feeling ill or irritable. The Nicotine can also relieve your cravings for a cigarette and help you to resist the urge to smoke. NiQuitin Minis 4mg do not have the health dangers of tobacco. This is because they do not contain the Tar, Carbon Monoxide or other toxins in cigarette smoke. Some people worry that after stopping smoking, they may become dependent on Nicotine lozenges instead. This is very rare, and if it did happen, it is less harmful than continuing to smoke. It is also an easier habit to break. In general, any possible side effects associated with NRT are far outweighed by the well known dangers of continuing to smoke.

• Replaces some of the Nicotine from cigarettes
• Relieves withdrawal symptoms
• No tobacco health dangers
• Mint flavoured
