Safety information 7
Contains nicotine – keep away from children & pets
Nicotine is harmful and even small amounts can be dangerous to children and animals. Store the pack out of their sight and reach, and dispose of used lozenges carefully.
Do not smoke while using
Do not smoke while using NiQuitin Minis. NRT is far safer than smoking, so if you do slip up, keep using your lozenges and carry on with your quit attempt rather than giving up.
Pregnancy & breastfeeding
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is best to try to stop without medicines, but NRT is preferable to continuing to smoke. Speak to your midwife, GP or pharmacist first – an intermittent form such as a lozenge may be preferred.
Check with a pharmacist if you have a medical condition
Ask a pharmacist or doctor before use if you have recently had a heart attack or stroke, or have unstable angina, an irregular heartbeat, diabetes, an overactive thyroid, a phaeochromocytoma, a stomach ulcer, or liver or kidney problems.
For adult smokers only
Intended for adult smokers who want to quit – check the pack for the minimum age. Not suitable for non-smokers or children.
Let it dissolve – do not chew or swallow whole
Let each lozenge dissolve slowly, moving it from side to side. Chewing it or swallowing it whole can cause hiccups, heartburn or indigestion and means it works less well.
Possible side effects
Some people notice mild throat or mouth irritation, hiccups, heartburn or nausea, particularly early on. Read the patient information leaflet and speak to a pharmacist if any effects persist or trouble you.

Product overview

NiQuitin Minis 4mg – fast craving relief that fits your pocket

NiQuitin Minis 4mg are small, discreet mint lozenges that dissolve quickly in your mouth to relieve a sudden nicotine craving on the spot. Each one is small enough to tuck against your cheek without anyone noticing, so you stay in control wherever a craving strikes. This 100-piece pack is a handy supply for busy days, and the 4mg strength is the higher of the two – designed for stronger cravings and heavier smokers.

How NiQuitin Minis help you stop smoking

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) makes quitting easier by easing the cravings and withdrawal symptoms – irritability, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, low mood, disturbed sleep and increased appetite – that so often send people back to cigarettes. A NiQuitin Mini gives you a controlled, lower dose of nicotine without the tar, carbon monoxide and other harmful chemicals found in cigarette smoke. Replacing that nicotine while you break the habit takes the edge off withdrawal and helps you stay smoke-free for long enough to succeed.

Why choose the 4mg strength?

NiQuitin Minis come in two strengths so you can match them to how much you smoke. The 4mg lozenge is the stronger option, generally suited to heavier smokers and to anyone whose cravings feel intense. If you have your first cigarette within 30 minutes of waking, the 4mg strength is usually the right starting point. As your quit attempt settles and cravings ease, you can gradually cut down the number you use each day and, in time, move towards stopping NRT altogether.

How to use NiQuitin Minis

Using a Mini could not be simpler. Place one lozenge in your mouth and let it dissolve slowly, moving it from side to side occasionally until it has completely gone – this usually takes around 10 minutes. Do not chew it or swallow it whole, as this can cause hiccups, heartburn or an upset stomach and less nicotine is absorbed. Use one lozenge whenever you feel the urge to smoke, and follow the dosing guidance in the leaflet so you do not go over the daily maximum. Try not to eat or drink while a lozenge is dissolving.

Discreet enough to use almost anywhere

Part of what makes the Minis so easy to live with is how discreet they are. The lozenge is small and dissolves quietly, with a clean mint taste and no chewing, so you can use one at your desk, on public transport, in a meeting or out with friends without drawing attention. Keeping a pack in your bag, pocket or car means fast relief is always within reach for moments when a craving would otherwise be hard to ignore.

Can I use them with a nicotine patch?

Yes – many people quit more successfully by combining two forms of NRT. A patch delivers a steady background level of nicotine through the day to keep everyday cravings at bay, while a fast-acting NiQuitin Mini tackles the sudden, breakthrough cravings a patch alone may not cover. This combination approach suits a lot of smokers, particularly heavier ones. If you are unsure whether it is right for you, your pharmacist can talk it through and help you build a plan.

Getting the most from your quit attempt

NRT gives you the best chance of stopping when you pair it with a little support. Using your local NHS Stop Smoking Service, or the free advice available from any pharmacist, can greatly improve your odds of quitting for good compared with willpower alone. Set a quit date, keep your Minis handy, and be kind to yourself – slip-ups happen, and the important thing is to carry on rather than give up. Most people use NRT for around 8–12 weeks, reducing gradually as their cravings fade.
