You can improve your chance of quitting by using the Nicotine Patch and another product, like NICORETTE® Quick Mist when you need extra support to fight cravings.
How it works
Our Dual Support offers you a better chance of quitting for good.*
With Dual Support, two stop smoking aids are used:
- Patches are used to reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings throughout the day.
- QuickMist are used to relieve breakthrough cravings.
Why use it?
Research shows that using two quit smoking aids at the same time increases your chances of quitting compared to using just one. If you experience very strong cravings or have tried unsuccessfully to quit in the past using only a single product, using two products can really help you to stay on track.
QuickMist Nicotine 1mg/ spray:
- Stopping Weeks 1 to 6: Use 1-2 sprays when you would normally smoke a cigarette or have cravings to Immediately smoke (1-2 sprays every 30 minutes —1 hour). Do not use more than 4 spray/hour for 16 hours or 64 sprays/day. Weeks 7 to 9: start reducing the number of sprays/day. Weeks 10 to 12: Gradually reduce to 2-4 sprays/day and then stop use.
