REDUCE TO QUIT®
When patients want to quit gradually, consider REDUCE TO QUIT® with NRT
What is REDUCE TO QUIT®?
REDUCE TO QUIT® is the use of NRT while gradually cutting back cigarette smoking.1 A quit date is set and treatment is initiated in the pre-quit reduction period. Smokers use an oral NRT treatment whenever they have a craving to prolong smoke-free interval.2
Consider REDUCE TO QUIT® for patients who:
Want to reduce smoking before quitting on a target quit date (TQD)
Want to reduce their smoking, but not set a TQD
Trying a reduction strategy is better than doing nothing at all. The ultimate goal, however, should be to quit altogether.
Customizing the REDUCE TO QUIT® approach3
- Limiting smoking to certain places
- Gradually increasing the time between cigarettes
- Delaying the first cigarette of the day for as long as possible
- Choosing a few specific cigarettes to give up each week
- Smoking during only odd or even hours
- Not smoking after a certain time of day
Why try REDUCE TO QUIT®?
Almost half of smokers had tried to quit in the past year; nearly 1/3 tried more than once4
Over 2/3 of Canadians, who attempted to quit in the past year used some form of cessation assistance4
