FAQ
- Why not quit cold turkey?
Nicotine delivered by cigarettes is so addictive that people often underestimate how difficult it is to resist cravings using willpower alone. Nicorette delivers a controlled amount of nicotine to your system to help soothe your physical cravings and allows you to focus on mental aspects of your quit. Using Nicorette as directed doubles your chances of quitting.5
- I've tried to quit smoking several times, but it's never worked. Why can't I quit?
You can. You just haven't succeeded yet. Even if you've made it a day, a week, or a month—you've made it. Try to learn from your mistake. Figure out why you fell off the wagon so you can avoid putting yourself in similar situations in the future, choose a new quit date, and then try again. This time, you may be able to quit for good!
- Do Nicorette gum, lozenges, and mini lozenges have side effects?
The active ingredient of Nicorette products is a low, therapeutic dose of nicotine. This could cause problems among people with certain health conditions. Be sure to carefully read the user guide inside your package for a complete list of possible side effects.
