WHAT ARE NIQUITIN CQ LOZENGES
AND WHAT ARE THEY USED FOR?
NiQuitin CQ
Lozenges are a stop smoking aid. They contain a
nicotine resin and when sucked, nicotine is released slowly
from the resin and absorbed through the lining of the mouth.
This nicotine relieves some of the unpleasant symptoms, such
as feeling ill or irritable, that smokers frequently feel when
they try to give up. The nicotine can also reduce your urge to
smoke by providing some of the nicotine previously inhaled
from cigarettes and helps you resist cigarettes.
Because NiQuitin CQ Lozenges do not contain the tar or
carbon monoxide of cigarette smoke, they do not have the
health dangers of tobacco.
NiQuitin CQ
Lozenges come in two strengths. Each strength
comes in its own pack. This pack contains NiQuitin CQ 4 mg
Lozenges which are for smokers who smoke their first ciga-
rette within 30 minutes of waking up. 
If possible, when giving up smoking, NiQuitin CQ Lozenges
should be used with a stop smoking behavioural support
programme.
