NICORETTE

In Europe, smoking causes 1.2 million deaths annually. In Spain alone, 22% of the population claims to smoke on a daily basis. This not only affects smokers directly, but also causes people who are exposed to tobacco smoke to become passive smokers.

Quitting smoking is not an easy process and in most cases additional help is needed to kick the habit.
