What is NiQuitin PRE-QUIT Clear Patch?

NiQuitin PRE-QUIT Patch is a nicotine replacement

patch which can be worn, whilst continuing to smoke

as needed, for 2-4 weeks before your quit day to

help reduce the reward you get from smoking. This

approach is thought to reduce the need to smoke

over time, helping to ease you into your quit.

NiQuitin PRE-QUIT Patch:

• Eases you into quitting as it allows you to smoke

as needed for 2-4 weeks until quit day

• May help make quitting easier by making smoking

less rewarding

• Significantly increases the chances of quitting

successfully, compared to not using patches

before quit day

Using patches for 2 weeks before quitting is proven to improve the chances of quitting successfully. So if you’ve struggled to quit with patches in the past, maybe you should give it a try. After all, it’s the most effective approach to quit using patches*.

How to use NiQuitin PRE-QUIT Patch

• Apply one patch in the morning for 2-4 weeks while

continuing to smoke as needed

• You can use NiQuitin PRE-QUIT Patch for a maximum

of 4 weeks before your quit date, whilst continuing to

smoke as needed

• You should only use NiQuitin PRE-QUIT Patch if you

smoke 10 or more cigarettes a day

How does NiQuitin PRE-QUIT Patch work?

It is thought that NiQuitin PRE-QUIT Patch makes

smoking less rewarding, by maintaining steady

nicotine levels in the blood – so that you experience

less of a nicotine ‘hit’ when smoking. This may help

make you less dependent on cigarettes, so that giving

up completely should be less of a struggle.

Is smoking while wearing a patch dangerous?

No. NiQuitin PRE-QUIT Patch is intended to be used, while

smoking as needed, for 2-4 weeks before a quit attempt.

Using patches while smoking does increase the level

of nicotine in the blood, but clinical evidence suggests

that pre-cessation use of NRT does not cause more side

effects than standard patch use. Smokers tend

to manage their nicotine levels automatically, so you

may find that you smoke fewer cigarettes while using

the patch.

What happens at the end of the PRE-QUIT period?

The aim of using NiQuitin PRE-QUIT patches is to give

you the confidence to quit completely.

Following NiQuitin PRE-QUIT use, you should stop

smoking altogether. You should then begin the

NiQuitin step down programme, which will help

you quit for good.

NIQUITIN and PRE-QUIT are trade marks of the GlaxoSmithKline group of companies.
