How The First Week Challenge Works

The First Week Challenge is when you stop smoking for one week and manage your nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms with a NICORETTE® product.

By quitting completely, you’ll feel the health benefits of stopping smoking more quickly. However, it’s perfectly normal that you’ll feel irritable and frustrated for a while. Don’t worry – we’ll help you get through, and those feelings will decrease after some time.

We know that when you've stopped smoking for good, you'll feel like you can do anything. Every step of the way, we're here to help and inspire you with our tools and expertise. Let's start the journey together.
