Take on the two sides to quitting.
Quitting smoking is tough. But it doesn't have to be brutal. Because instead of going cold turkey, NicoDerm CQ helps you quit successfully through a balanced approach.

Nicotine addiction causes your brain to link everyday habits with smoking. So you're actually fighting a battle on two fronts — physical and habitual. Understanding both is key to changing your behavior, making healthier choices and starting a new life as a non-smoker.

NicoDerm CQ uses patented SmartControl technology to control the release of nicotine and calm your cravings. NicoDerm CQ shields you from the harsh effects of nicotine withdrawal by gradually weaning your body of its need for nicotine over a period of time. Having a handy quit checklist will help you better prepare for your quit attempt.

How to increase your chance for success.

The first step is to prepare before you quit. Quitting is a process, not an event. Being ready – physically and emotionally — before you smoke your last cigarette will help you stay on track when the going gets rough.

Quitting essentials will guide you through the obstacles and pitfalls of quitting with helpful tips on managing your weight, coping with stress and staying positive.

Finally, after your last smoke, substitute new, healthy behaviors for smoking. You'll have to be ready for cravings. We'll help you understand what to expect from day one forward.
