Nicorette Step 2 10mg Patches - The nicotine is released through your skin over 16 hours. It is absorbed quite slowly compared to smoking a cigarette so you should be prepared to wait a little while longer for the nicotine to get into your system.

It is important to gradually reduce the amount of nicotine you absorb until you can do without it. The Nicorette Patch is available in three strengths that enable people to start on the highest dose and then gradually reduce their intake. Start with the 15mg full strength patches for 8 weeks and then switch to the 10mg patch for 2 weeks. Finally, lower the dose to the 5mg patches for a further 2 weeks before giving up all together.

Stop Smoking Tips:

If you feel the need for inspiration remember Nicorette is here to help. We know how difficult it is to quit smoking so we have put together some tips from other smokers who have successfully quit.

Willpower and control - Take control! Use your willpower and ask yourself, “How much do I really need this cigarette?” Remind yourself of all the reasons you decided to stop smoking in the first place. Do you really want to throw all your hard work away now that you’ve got this far?

If at first you don’t succeed...Relapses can happen, so don’t despair. Many ex-smokers usually try several times before being successful. Think of your relapse as a temporary set back, rather than a failure. Use the experience and learn from it so that next time you won’t be tempted again. Your determination is the key to success!!!
