Product Details

Nicotinell Step 1 Patches are a treatment that is intended to work as a treatment for quitting smoking. The active ingredient in these patches to assist in quitting smoking is nicotine. Nicotine is the drug in the cigarette that causes addiction to smoke. This works by replacing the nicotine in smoking with a healthier option, and aids in reducing the cravings and reliance on nicotine over time. This is known as Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT). Besides being a form of NRT, these patches can be used as a replacement of a cigarette when smoking is not possible.

Nicotine addiction is the result of smoking over time and development dependency on the contents of a cigarette. When smoking a cigarette, the tobacco enters the body and into the lungs. From there, the nicotine goes to the brain and causes a neurotransmitter to be released. The neurotransmitter that is released is dopamine, which improves the mood and gives a feeling of pleasure. Over time, the body craves the release of dopamine, which causes withdrawal symptoms when not smoking.

These Nicotinell patches are suitable to be used by adults and children aged 12 and over. They should not be used by anyone who is allergic to the ingredients contained in the patches. Do not use if you have a skin condition that could potentially cause a reaction when applying the patches.
