TIPS AND SUPPORT FOR GOING SMOKE-FREE

Welcome to the start of a smoke-free you.
The decision to stop smoking is one of the most important choices you will ever make. By choosing a nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) to help you quit, you’re starting on the right path.
Using an NRT, such as a lozenge or mini-lozenge, means following a quit program like the one we recommend under “Starting the Program.” The program for nicotine lozenges and mini-lozenges is the same.
No matter which product you’ve chosen, your success depends on your level of addiction to tobacco, the effort you put toward quitting and your commitment to following the plan.

Understanding Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT)
Nicotine Polacrilex Lozenges and Mini-lozenges are forms of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). They deliver nicotine to your body, temporarily relieving nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms when you quit smoking. Unlike cigarettes, NRTs delivers a lower, steady level of nicotine to your blood. When used as directed, Nicotine Polacrilex Lozenges and Mini-Lozenges help you regulate, control, and gradually reduce your body’s craving for nicotine.
Both lozenge forms do not contain any tar or carbon monoxide and, therefore, don’t present the same medical risks as cigarettes. However, the lozenges still contain nicotine, which is the addictive ingredient in cigarettes. For some people, the nicotine in the lozenges can occasionally cause mouth or throat irritation, headaches, nausea, hiccups, upset stomach or dizziness.
The sole reason for using Nicotine Polacrilex Lozenges or Mini-lozenges is to decrease and slowly eliminate your need for nicotine, while you control cravings. Good luck on your quit journey. Always remember, you are stronger than the urge to smoke!
