Jones helps you quit by using a combination of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), behavioral support (inspired by cognitive behavioral therapy, CBT), and community. We built our program in conjunction with our medical advisor, Dr. David Kan, at UCSF, who is an expert in addiction medicine.

1. Place mint in your mouth
2. The mint dissolves quickest under your tongue, and lasts longest tucked into your cheek. Allow mint to dissolve, do not chew or swallow the mint.
3. Do not consume more than 20 per day

Your first Jones order (a one-time purchase or your first subscription purchase) will contain Jones mints and a complimentary Jones travel tin. You’ll also receive a card with instructions for how to use your mints and extra helpful tips, as well as a QR code to sign up for the Jones app. We encourage you to use the Jones app alongside your mints, because adding behavioral support to NRT increases quit rates by 20%. If you signed up for a Jones subscription, your recurring orders will contain refills of your Jones mints.

Our fulfillment team packs orders 7 days a week. Orders placed after 12:00 pm ET will be packed the following day. This means that if you place an order in the afternoon, you can expect it to be fulfilled the following day. If you place an order early in the morning, it’s possible it will be fulfilled the same day.

Once fulfilled, please allow up to 1-4 days for order processing while your order is transferred to the carrier. On your tracking link, order processing looks like the “Pre-Shipment” or “Label Created” stage. Once your package is scanned by the carrier, standard shipping takes 4-6 days for customers in the continental USA. Shipping to Alaska and Hawaii takes 7-10 days.

Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) is considered the first-line treatment in the medical community for most people who want to quit vaping, and it is available over the counter for adults or by prescription for children under age 18.

NRT is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is clinically shown to help people quit smoking - it can even double your chance of quitting successfully. Plus, more and more studies are coming out with clinical support for NRT’s benefits in quitting vaping. NRT is not yet approved by the FDA as a vaping cessation product, however, our medical advisor Dr. Kan and other addiction specialists highly recommend NRT to help with nicotine withdrawal when quitting vaping.

NRT provides nicotine gradually, so it helps reduce withdrawal symptoms and manage cravings without exposing you to toxic chemicals or giving the “head rush” that keeps you coming back to other nicotine delivery methods like smoking, vaping, or oral nicotine pouches.

It helps you quit by providing your brain with small doses of nicotine over time. This reduces withdrawal symptoms like irritability, grogginess, constipation, and cravings without spiking your blood nicotine (which is what continues your dependency).

You can think of NRT as a tool that provides you space to focus on building new habits and removing your behavioral dependency without simultaneously coping with severe withdrawal symptoms the way you would when quitting “cold turkey”. Once you’ve reset your habits and routine, you can gradually reduce your NRT intake. Most people feel they no longer need NRT and stop using it after a few months. Some choose to use NRT for longer, but this is still safer than continuing to use more harmful nicotine delivery methods.

Yes, it is safe and effective - in fact, the risks and side effects of consuming NRT are very similar to those of caffeine. NRT does not contain the dangerous chemicals that are present in vapes or tobacco.

Doctors and other medical experts (including the CDC & smokefree.gov) recommend NRT as one of the most helpful tools you can use to quit. It’s been FDA-approved and heavily studied for over 30 years (the first NRT was used in 1967!), and the research shows that NRT is safe and effective for almost all adults looking to quit. NRT has been approved for over-the-counter use since 1996.

Most adults (anyone 18+) can take NRT without consulting a doctor. There are very few people who shouldn’t use NRT. Pregnant women, teens, and people with serious health issues (like heart or lung disease) still might be able to use NRT, but should talk to their doctor first. Some people are allergic to the compounds in NRT that don’t include nicotine but those people are very, very rare. If you have known sensitivities, we advise you to read the ingredients before taking NRT. People allergic to Soya products should not use nicotine lozenges.

It’s very rare to get serious side effects from using NRT. Mild side effects can occur, which usually don’t last long. For Jones nicotine mints, possible side effects include a tingling sensation, coughing, gas, heartburn, trouble sleeping, nausea, hiccups, racing heartbeat. Frequently, side effects are caused by incorrect use of NRT—for example, it’s important to allow the lozenges/mints dissolve in your mouth as opposed to chewing or swallowing them. This allows for gradual nicotine delivery which not only makes sure it works to relieve cravings and withdrawal symptoms, but also reduces the amount of nicotine you swallow, which can upset your stomach.

Nicotine mints can be used every 1-2 hours to control withdrawal symptoms. You can safely consume up to 20 mint lozenges a day. Take the Jones quiz to learn your dependency level and recommended quit plan.

Generally, you can use NRT as long as needed. There are different programs available depending on your dependency and personalized needs but most recommend 10-12 weeks to taper NRT.

A 12-week treatment regimen includes:

1. Use 1 lozenge every 1-2 hours for first 6 weeks.
2. Use 1 lozenge every 2-4 hours for 3 additional weeks.
3. Use 1 lozenge every 4-8 hours for 3 additional weeks.

This journey is 10-12 weeks for most people. For some people it might take longer. People for whom this will take longer might have more severe addictions. The presence of another mental health condition (depression and anxiety) also dictates a longer course of treatment.

The key is not to rush or pressure yourself, your pace is the right pace.

When using nicotine mints you can double your chances of quitting successfully. Nicotine mints allow your brain to start adjusting back to normal without feeling such severe withdrawal symptoms. The key to nicotine mints is to take them as long as needed to quit, to take enough to curb your cravings (frequency & dose), and to use them correctly.

Absolutely. NRT was first designed to help smokers quit, and it's FDA-approved for this purpose. Your Jones NRT comes with specific guidance on using NRT to quit smoking.

On average, one 4mg nicotine mints will provide you with roughly two to three cigarettes worth of nicotine. When smoking a cigarette, you ingest approximately 1.2-1.8 mg of nicotine per cigarette.

On average, one 2mg nicotine mint will provide you with roughly one cigarette worth of nicotine. When smoking a cigarette, you ingest approximately 1.2-1.8 mg of nicotine per cigarette.

Yes. You can smoke, vape, or use other forms of nicotine while taking nicotine lozenges. For best results, doctors recommend setting a quit date and switching from smoking to nicotine lozenges on that date.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should consult with your healthcare provider about options for quitting.

NRT is not approved for over-the-counter use for youths under 18 years old. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that pediatricians consider off-label NRT for youth who are moderately or severely addicted to nicotine and motivated to quit. Quitters under 18 years old need a prescription from a healthcare provider and close follow-up is recommended.
