1. What NiQuitin Minis do

NiQuitin Minis are used to help people stop smoking. They work by replacing some of the nicotine you get from cigarettes. This type of treatment is called Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT).

Thenicotine in cigarettes makes them addictive, but other substances in cigarette smoke, such astar, carbon dioxide and other toxiHs, are more harmful to hour health. NRT

products like NiQuitin Minis do not have the health dangers of tobacco.

The nicotine from NRT reduces your cravings for cigarettes and helpsyou resist the urge to smokel It also relieves some of the unpleasint symptoms (like feeling ill or irritable) that

smokers havewhen they trytoqive up[_ _ _

NiQuitin Minis can be used to help you:

•    stop smoking straightaway (a quit attempt).

•    cut down on :moking, perhaps beforb you go on to stop completely (reducing to quit or just reducing).

In addition, NiQuitin Minis can be usediwhen you:

•    do not wish tb smoke or are unable tb smoke, for example in confined sbaces (in the car, in the House), where others (such as children) could be harmed b^ tobacco smoke or in places where smoking is prohibited (temporal abstinence).

•    develop cravings once you have stopped smoking.

Reducing thentmber of cigarettes smoked can increasethe chances thatybu willgo on to quit completely.

NiQuitin Minis can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding (see Pregnancy and breast-feeding below).

Some peopleworrythat, when they have stopped smoking, they may become dependent on NRT instead. This is very rare, and if it were to happen it is still safer than continuing to smoke. It is also an easier habit to bi|eak.

It is always better to stop smoking completely. Smoking is harmful and ias no health benefits. ^RT products like NiQuitin Minis tan help you stop. Anyidsks or possible side-effects of nicotine from NRT are much less than the proven danger: of continuing to smoke.

Your chance of stopping smoking will be improved if you also take part in a support programmed. These 'Stop Smoking'

programmes are known as beha For more_

NiQuitin Minis can be used to help you:
