How it works
The nicotine is absorbed through the lining of your mouth, relieving those unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. So if you’re armed and ready with NICORETTE® Gum, you’re much less likely to get caught out by a craving.
Why use it?
NICORETTE® Gum gives you control over your cravings by letting you decide when you want to use it. Smokers who use nicotine gum are also more likely to quit and stay smoke-free than those who use willpower alone.
How to use NICORETTE® Gum.
 |
 |
 |
| Chew the gum slowly until the taste becomes strong (less than a minute). | Rest the gum between your gums and cheek - the nicotine is then released into your body via the mouth lining. | Start chewing the gum again when the taste has faded. Repeat until the nicotine craving disappears. |
What’s the right dose for me?
NICORETTE® Gum is available in two strengths. If you smoke 20 or more cigarettes a day,
we recommend using the 4mg strength, and if you smoke less than 20 cigarettes a day,
we recommend using the 2mg strength. We recommend gradually reducing the number of pieces you chew a day.
