Do you want to give up smoking?

Have you previously (unsuccessfully) tried to give up?

60% of people may be taking either the wrong medication or the wrong dose. This is why many people find it so difficult to quit.

The NicoTest™ combines the information from your blood sample and our online support programme to provide a Personalised Treatment Report. This report recommends the best choice of medication and right dosage for you.

Beat the ban and make a fresh start

Why not take part in a new Stop Smoking Study being run by your local pharmacy now?

The objective of the study is to assess the effectiveness of a new technology, the NicoTest™, in helping people to stop smoking.

The NicoTest™ uses a finger prick blood sample to analyse for common changes in your genetic make-up which may have strong links to smoking and addiction.

The NicoTest™ also provides smokers with 24/7 online support, which is called the “Flight to Freedom”. This enables contact with other quitters around the clock and access to a nurse for first-hand advice.

The NicoTest™ is free to qualifying smokers. However, if you do not qualify then you can buy it separately.

For details of your nearest participating pharmacist, or for more information about the NicoTest™ email us at info@g-nostics.com or phone 0870 770-2850.

Could the key to quitting lie in the genes? A pragmatic clinical evaluation of the NicoTest in primary care

A multitude of medical products are available to equip medical professionals when supporting smokers in their cessation attempts. However, individuals can react differently to any single drug and much of this unpredictability is due to individual genetic variation. Individual responses to drugs constitute a substantial clinical problem since the medical professional may need to try several medicines on a patient before they find one which is suitable.
