When you stop smoking, you may experience withdrawal symptoms and cravings. When you chew NicoretteĀ®Ā Gum it releases nicotine, which passes through the lining of your mouth and into your body, working to relieve these withdrawal symptoms.
Cravings may strike as your body adjusts to not getting its regular dose of nicotine. The amount of nicotine contained in NicoretteĀ®Ā Gum helps stop the craving to smoke.
Choose from two strengths of NicoretteĀ®Ā chewing gum:
- 2mg NicoretteĀ®Ā Gum ā For those who smoke 20 or fewer cigarettes per day. It can also help you reduce the number of cigarettes you smoke and increase your smoke-free intervals.
- 4mg NicoretteĀ®Ā Gum ā For those who smoke more than 20 cigarettes per day, to help meet withdrawals of high serum nicotine levels as a result of heavy smoking.
Chew a piece of NicoretteĀ®Ā Gum whenever you feel an urge to smoke ā no more than 15 pieces per day. This should satisfy your craving. After 30 minutes the gum will be exhausted as all the nicotine has been absorbed by your body.
