Weight Control is one area that many people worry about when they quit smoking. NICORETTE® Gum has been shown to help you control your weight in this tough period.

How does NICORETTE® Gum help you control the weight gain commonly experienced while quitting?

Because smoking cigarettes can increase your metabolism, when you quit your metabolism may slow down. This could result in weight gain. As NICORETTE® Gum contains nicotine, it can help you control the drop in metabolic rate experienced with sudden nicotine withdrawal. The nicotine in NICORETTE® Gum also acts as an appetite suppressant, helping you reduce calorie consumption while you concentrate on beating cigarettes. So with NICORETTE® Gum you can be in control.
