NiQuitin is a range of nicotine replacement products that helps smokers stop by replacing the nicotine supplied by cigarettes with a lower, steadier level that helps relieve withdrawal.[1] The therapeutic nicotine in NiQuitin effectively reduces nicotine cravings. This lets users wean off nicotine gradually.[2] Nicotine replacement therapy products (e.g. chewing gum, lozenges, transdermal systems) are indicated as temporary aids for the cigarette smoker who wants to give up smoking. They serve as alternative sources of nicotine and provide relief of nicotine withdrawal symptoms in nicotine-dependent individuals who are acutely withdrawing from cigarette smoking.[3]
NiQuitin is available as patches, gums and lozenges.
History
editNiQuitin was approved by the FDA in 1991, touted as the original "nicotine transdermal system."[4]
Created by GlaxoSmithKline, NiQuitin was the second product to provide an alternative to the withdrawal symptoms of quitting smoking.[5] Nicotine gums were already quite popular with consumers.[6]
Shortly after NiQuitin’s release, NiQuitin Clear was released, as some users complained about the patch's inability to match a wide variety of skin colors. Over the past several years, NiQuitin has become the most popular topical nicotine alternative. Also shortly after NiQuitin 's release, many other pharmaceutical companies began releasing many nicotine replacement therapies including Nicotine gum, lozenges, inhalers and nasal sprays.
The product is sold globally under different brand names Nicoderm in the US, Nicabate in Australia and New Zealand and NiQuitin CQ in China, many parts of Europe and South America.[7]

I want someone to check over my entry and make sure it is ok to publish. I've been working on it to make sure it meets all of the Wikipedia criteria but I've heard it's really hard to get new entries published if you've never published before. This is for a NiQuitin page.
- Well I don't really see anything worth speedy deletion, so don't worry about that. Few more 3rd party references wouldn't hurt though. Have you tried searching Google Scholar and Google Books? I'm leaving the helpme tag here so that experienced users see it-Unpopular Opinion (talk · contribs) 10:00, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for looking this over. I added some third party links.
- I edited your text a bit and added {{cn}}-tags wherever your text made claims that need a source. You might want to read the guideline to reliable sources and how to use references. Please be aware that Wikipedia-articles are not a source. That said, I think if you an provide those sources, it makes a nice article. Oh, and you should sign your posts here with ~~~~.

Conflict of interest
edit
Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Eflornithine, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
- editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
- linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Your edits on Eflornithine seem quite biased in removing content unfavorable to pharmaceutical companies (namely, the content under the "Production" heading, which you deleted), and to shifting focus of the article from sleeping sickness (a fatal, endemic disease) to hirsutism, a cosmetic symptom treated by Vaniqa. Please also note that your edits on The Duffy Agency and Niquitin also might share a similar conflict of interest. Miguelito Vieira (talk) 13:18, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
