Nicorette Cools relieves the nicotine withdrawal symptoms, including cravings, you get when you stop smoking. When your body suddenly stops getting nicotine from tobacco, you get hit by different kinds of unpleasant feelings called withdrawal symptoms, such as irritability, feeling angry or low, anxiety, restlessness, poor concentration, increased appetite or weight gain, urges to smoke (craving), night time awakening or sleep disturbance. The nicotine in Nicorette Cools can help prevent or reduce these unpleasant feelings and cravings for smoking.
To improve the chances of helping you to stop smoking, also seek counseling advice and support.
