Nicotine Gum

Nicotine gum is a fast-acting nicotine-replacement medicine used to manage cravings and withdrawal while stopping smoking. It is commonly available in different strengths and flavours and may be used alone or alongside a nicotine patch when stronger cravings occur. Nicotine gum is not chewed continuously like ordinary gum. It should be chewed slowly until tingling begins, then held between the cheek and gum so the nicotine can be absorbed through the mouth. Follow the labelled dosing plan, avoid food and drink shortly before and during use, and keep used and unused pieces away from children and pets. People under 18, those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and people with recent or serious heart problems should seek professional advice before use.
