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

continuing to smoke as needed

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

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.
