Is Combination Therapy right for me?

If you've struggled to quit on your own, or with the help of a single NICODERM® or NICORETTE® product, Combination Therapy could help you stay on track throughout the day, and increase your chance of quitting for good.

NICODERM® and NICORETTE® are leaders in quitting smoking aids, and are the first products authorized for use together by Health Canada.
