A patch goes on once a day and releases nicotine steadily through your skin for around 24 hours. You don't have to remember it or time it, you just put one on in the morning. Most people start on Step 1 at 21mg, then step down to Step 2 at 14mg and Step 3 at 7mg as cravings ease. Most people pair the patch with gum or lozenges for breakthrough cravings, which is something we can guide you through.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a clinically proven method that helps people quit smoking or vaping by reducing withdrawal symptoms and cravings. NRT provides controlled doses of nicotine without the harmful chemicals found in cigarettes or vape aerosols, helping you gradually reduce dependence while building smoke-free habits.
Instead of quitting nicotine abruptly, NRT helps stabilize cravings so you can focus on changing routines and behaviors associated with smoking.
Nicotine patches deliver a steady dose of nicotine through the skin to help reduce withdrawal symptoms throughout the day.
Choose a non-hairy area between the neck and waist (upper arm, chest, or back).
Press the patch onto the skin for 10-20 seconds with the palm of your hand.
Do not use the same skin site for at least one week to avoid irritation.
Fold the patch in half and discard it away from children and pets.
Works best when used daily without interruption.
Best for:
• People who smoke or vape throughout the day
• People who want steady craving control
• People who prefer a set it and forget it solution

Patch step goes on how many cigarettes you smoke a day. More than 10 a day starts on Step 1 (21 mg). 10 or fewer starts on Step 2 (14 mg), skipping Step 1 entirely. Step 3 (7 mg) is the final taper you move onto after Step 2. Vaping does not map neatly onto cigarette counts, so if you vape, take the quiz or message us and Mark, our pharmacist, will help you place it.
Yes, the patches are made for 24-hour wear. Some people get vivid dreams when they wear it overnight, so if that's you, take it off before bed and put a fresh one on in the morning.
Just put on a fresh one. Make sure the skin is completely clean and dry first, avoid areas with body hair or where the skin folds, and smooth the edges down firmly when you apply it.
Combination therapy means wearing a patch for steady all-day support and using gum or lozenges when cravings break through. We recommend it for most people because the patch handles your baseline nicotine level and the gum or lozenge handles the spikes. Take the Quit Quiz and it'll tell you whether combo therapy makes sense for you.

Yes. Not everyone wants to stop all at once. The 90-Day Quit Program is built around gradually reducing nicotine, so it works just as well if your goal is to cut back significantly first and decide what's next later. A lot of people start out wanting to cut back and end up quitting fully.
Stick it on clean, dry, hairless skin on your upper arm, chest, or back. Press firmly for 10 to 20 seconds, especially around the edges so it sticks properly. Rotate where you put it each day to avoid skin irritation.
The step-down program runs about 10 weeks: 6 weeks on Step 1 (21 mg), then 2 weeks on Step 2 (14 mg), then 2 weeks on Step 3 (7 mg). If you're also using gum or lozenges for breakthrough cravings, you can keep tapering those for another 2 to 3 weeks after the patches finish. The full 90-day framework is there to give you time to build new habits while you reduce nicotine gradually. Always follow the directions on the pack.
Yes, and we'd encourage it. This is what's called combination therapy. The patch handles your baseline nicotine level, and gum or lozenges give you something to reach for when a craving hits harder than the patch alone can deal with. Pair 4 mg gum or lozenges with Step 1, and 2 mg with Step 2.

Quitine products are nicotine replacement therapy, so there are a few people who should talk to a doctor or pharmacist before starting. That includes anyone who's pregnant or breastfeeding, anyone under 18, anyone with a heart condition or recent heart attack, and anyone taking medication that might interact with nicotine. If you're not sure, message us on the chat box at the bottom left of the site, email info@quitine.com, or speak to your doctor or pharmacist.
