Nicotinell Step 1 Patch 21 mg (24‑Hour) – 28‑Day Supply

Powerful Nicotine Replacement Therapy for Smoking Cessation

Nicotinell Step 1 Patch delivers a steady, controlled dose of 21 mg of nicotine over a 24-hour period and is intended for adult smokers who consume 20 or more cigarettes per day. Designed to help manage nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms, these patches provide a discreet and convenient once-daily application.

This 28‑day pack supports the initial and most challenging phase of quitting by gently reducing reliance on cigarettes. The patch slowly releases nicotine through the skin into the bloodstream, helping to stabilize mood, reduce anxiety, and decrease irritability—facilitating a smoother transition to a smoke‑free life.

Ideal for individuals committed to a quit‑smoking plan, Nicotinell Step 1 offers an effective, user‑friendly approach to nicotine replacement that integrates seamlessly with daily routines.
