LOZENGES

Nicorette Cools Lozenges use dual layer technology. As the lozenge dissolves, it delivers therapeutic nicotine to help relieve your cravings and other withdrawal symptoms. The icy mint flavour is also gradually released to provide you with a long-lasting cooling taste.

PATCHES

Nicorette Invisipatch provides a steady flow of nicotine to the body for up to 16 hours, making it much easier to work into a regular once-a-day routine, keeping nicotine cravings at bay during the day when you need it most.
