Continuous defense against your cravings to help you quit for good. Get serious. Get the strength of NicoDerm® CQ® — the only clear patch formulated with patented SmartControlTM technology to control the release of nicotine.

Put NicoDerm® CQ® on once a day, and SmartControl technology ensures you'll get up to 24 hours of continuous defense against nicotine withdrawal symptoms.

It also has another big advantage. It comes with individualized support from Committed Quitters®, the stop-smoking plan you customize to help overcome your psychological barriers to quitting.

Just smoke a few cigarettes a day? A pack or more? There is a big difference in nicotine levels between the two. You choose the one that's right for you, based on how often you smoke, then gradually move down to a lower strength until you are free from nicotine and cigarettes.

SmartControl technology ensures that you'll receive a steady flow of nicotine for 16 or 24 hours (depending on how long you wear your NicoDerm® CQ® patch). This means you get continuous defense to fight nicotine withdrawal cravings, even those early morning cravings when you first wake up.


There are two treatment regimens to choose from, depending on how many cigarettes you smoke per day. The strength you begin with depends on how much you smoke. The clear ThinFlex® NicoDerm® CQ® with SmartControlTM is the thinnest and most flexible clear patch, so no one has to know you're using it unless you tell them.
