(a) Treatment with Nicotinell Mint Lozenges Only
Nicotinell Mint 1 mg lozenge is recommended for low to moderate nicotine dependence (less than 20 cigarettes per day).
It is not recommended for smokers with a strong to very strong nicotine dependence (more than 30 cigarettes per day).

If the high strength (2 mg lozenge) causes adverse reactions, the use of the low strength (1 mg lozenge) should be considered.

Dosage for adults over 18 years old
Suck on a lozenge whenever you feel the urge to smoke. In general, one lozenge should be used every hour or every two hours. Normally 8 to 12 lozenges per day are sufficient. If you still feel the urge to smoke, you may take additional tablets. Do not use more than 24 tablets of the 1 mg lozenges per day (this applies both when you want to stop smoking and when you want to reduce smoking). Do not use more than 1 lozenge per hour.
Nicotinell lozenges should primarily be used for smoking cessation.
