How it works
If you smoke 25 cigarettes or fewer a day, try the 2 mg gum.
If you smoke more than 25 cigarettes a day, try the 4 mg gum.
How to Use
Chew the gum slowly until the taste becomes strong.
When the taste is strong, rest the gum between your jaw and cheek. The nicotine is absorbed by your mouth’s lining.
After the taste has faded, resume chewing the gum until the taste becomes strong again.
Keep repeating steps 2 and 3 for about 30 minutes.
Ready to quit smoking completely? Chew a piece of nicotine gum whenever you feel the urge to smoke, use the above table as a guide. Over time, you’ll need to chew less and less gum to control your nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms. We recommend gradually reducing the number of pieces of gum that you chew as suggested in the User Guide.
DO NOT EXCEED 20 PIECES PER DAY.
Do not chew more than one piece of NICORETTE® Gum at a time.
Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions concerning NICORETTE® Gum.
If the amounts of NICORETTE® Gum you are taking do not help you stop smoking, talk with your healthcare provider about using more than one type of nicotine replacement therapy at the same time.
Month 1 – First 2 weeks | 10 to 20 pieces per day |
Month 1 – Last 2 weeks | 8 to 15 pieces per day |
Month 2 | 4 to 10 pieces per day |
Month 3 | 2 to 5 pieces per day |
Months 4 through 6 | 1 piece if the urge to smoke returns |
