Stopping smoking is a challenging process where the physical need for nicotine can put your perseverance to the test. The restlessness and withdrawal symptoms that arise as soon as you stop make it difficult to maintain your new healthy routine. NiQuitin Step 2 offers you the necessary support by controlled relief of nicotine cravings, so you can focus on breaking your habits and regaining your vitality.

- Provides a controlled release of nicotine for 24 hours, which helps to take the edge off the craving for a cigarette.
- Supports you as part of a structured step-by-step plan, so you can reduce nicotine intake responsibly and gradually.
- Easy to use thanks to the discreet patch that you only need to apply once a day to clean skin.
How it works
NiQuitin Step 2 uses nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). The patch releases a constant amount of nicotine into your body through the skin, without the harmful substances of tobacco smoke such as tar and carbon monoxide. This allows physical dependence to be built down step by step. Step 2 is specifically developed as an intermediate step for heavy smokers who have completed the first phase, or as a starting point for light smokers, to let the body get used to a lower dosage of nicotine on the way to a completely smoke-free future.
