Not every one will quit successfully using nicotine replacement therapy, so you can talk to us about alternative medication available on prescription from your doctor.
6. UNKNOWN
Some people find electronic cigarettes useful if they are trying to quit or reduce the number of Cigarettes they Smoke. But the long term risks and health benefits associated with electronic cigarettes are, as yet, unknown.
QUIT.ie
The HSE has a website Quit.ie dedicated to helping people who wish to quit smoking.
On the website you will find details of free Cork Quit Smoking Groups you can attend weekly like the one featured in this video. We also have the course booklet You Can Quit below that they use.

READY TO QUIT?
Ask our Pharmacist for advice & support as you try to quit.
Getting support more than doubles your chance of success.
There are five main products that we stock which can help you;
- Mouthspray
- Inhaler
- Lozenges
- Patches
- Chewing Gum
MOUTH SPRAY
Nicorette Quickmist Mouthspray
NICORETTE® QuickMist starts to act in just 60 seconds to give you fast relief from your cigarette cravings. The nicotine is absorbed quickly into your body through the mouth lining, helping to rapidly relieve the urge to smoke.
Watch the video above on how to use the mouth spray correctly.
INHALER
Nicorette 15mg Inhalator
By replacing the nicotine you would normally get from cigarettes, NICORETTE® Inhalator enables you to reduce or quit in a way that mimics the act of smoking.
Watch this video above from Nicorette showing the product.
LOZENGES
Nicorette Cools Lozenges
NICORETTE® Cools lozenges use dual layer technology. As the lozenge dissolves, it delivers therapeutic nicotine to help relieve your cravings and other withdrawal symptoms. The icy mint flavour is also gradually released to provide you with a long-lasting cooling taste.
Watch the video above advertising the lozenges.
PATCHES
Nicorette Invisipatch
The Nicorette Invisipatch provide a steady flow of nicotine to the body for up to 16 hours, making it much easier to work into a regular once-a-day routine, keeping nicotine cravings at bay during the day when you need it most.
Watch this video above from Nicorette showing the product.
CHEWING GUM
Nicorette Chewing Gum
Using Nicorette Gum means the nicotine is absorbed quickly through your mouth and gums, relieving those unpleasant withdrawal symptoms soon after they strike.
Each piece of gum delivers a controlled amount of nicotine into your body – enough to satisfy the craving, but not as much as a real cigarette.Watch this video above that shows how best to use the gum.
