If you are addicted to cigarettes, here are some methods on how to kick the habit.


There are many products available in pharmacies for smokers. These medicines relieve the symptoms of nicotine craving.

If you decide to take medication, the following should be taken into account when choosing a product: the degree of addiction and any contraindications to your use. Consult your doctor or Smoking Help Centre before going to the pharmacy.


Nicotine therapy consists of relieving the symptoms of craving when you stop smoking. Pure nicotine is free from many of the harmful substances that are contained in tobacco smoke.

The nicotine treatment process is divided into:

  1. After smoking cessation, when the nicotine concentration decreases, gums or patches are administered to reduce the symptoms of nicotine craving. The aim is to learn to live without cigarettes.
  2. When tobacco craving takes over, the nicotine dose is reduced, leading to complete withdrawal.
