Are you thinking of quitting smoking for good?
First and foremost, that's great — deciding to quit smoking is an achievement in itself.
That being said, the journey to quit smoking completely will be challenging, though not impossible. With resilience, determination, and consistency, the end goal is more than possible.
If you're seeking additional support along the way, consider trying NICORETTE, an anti-smoking aid that can help you give up smoking
Approved by the Ministry of Health, NICORETTE has a range of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) products — the NICORETTE Invisi Transdermal Patch and NICORETTE Gum.
As you gradually cut down on cigarettes, NICORETTE's products can offer relief for withdrawal symptoms and reduce nicotine cravings.
1. NICORETTE Invisi Transdermal Patch
This product can help smokers control their nicotine cravings for up to 16 hours. What the patch does is it releases controlled amounts of nicotine through your skin into your bloodstream.
It has three different doses — 25mg/16hr, 15mg/16hr, and 10mg/16hr — with each pack containing seven patches.
NICORETTE recommends starting with the strongest patch, and then working your way down throughout the 12 weeks of trying out the smoking aid.

2. NICORETTE Gum
NICORETTE Gum is a medicated chewing gum that works fast to relieve your cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
It comes in two different strengths — 2mg and 4mg. You can choose the strength based on how many cigarettes you smoke in a day.
Those who smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day may prefer a stronger dose to help relieve their cravings, while those who smoke only a few cigarettes will find the lighter dose just enough.
So, whenever you feel the urge to smoke, chew a piece of gum. Over time, you may find that you require less gum to control your nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
To maximise your chances of quitting for good, you can opt for NICORETTE's dual support, which sees you using both of their products alongside each other
The patches are able to reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings throughout the day, while the gum can relieve breakthrough cravings.
Using two quit-smoking aids simultaneously can increase the chances of quitting compared to using just one.
