NICODERM® smoking cessation patches provide a comprehensive treatment plan geared to how much you smoke. They are the only smoking cessation aid in a clear patch and are the patches most recommended by doctors and pharmacists.

The NICODERM® patented SMARTDOSE® Technology delivers a steady flow of nicotine to your blood stream 24 hours a day that is reduced over a 10-week period through a two- or three-step process. NICODERM® is the only patch that has a rate controlling membrane, to give your body a steady supply of nicotine to help protect you against cravings.

After following the 10-week plan, you could be free from cigarettes for good.

Using NICORETTE® or NICODERM® Nicotine Replacement Therapy may help you stop smoking by alleviating the discomfort of cravings and withdrawal. By stopping to smoke you may reduce the risk of developing lung cancer, heart disease, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, acute respiratory illnesses, periodontal disease and adverse reproductive effects. It may also improve the health of your skin.
