NICORETTE® Nicotine Gum
Product Details
Actively fight back against nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms with NICORETTE® Gum to help you quit for good.
NICORETTE® Nicotine Gum comes in 2mg or 4mg so you can choose the right strength based on how much you smoke
Nicotine is absorbed quickly through the lining of your mouth helping to effectively relief your cravings
Chewing can help with other withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety and stress
Choose from a wide variety of pack sizes and flavours:
Smoke less than 20 cigarettes per day? Try the 2mg gum.
Smoke more than 20 cigarettes per day? Try the 4mg gum.
Chew the gum slowly until the taste becomes strong.
When the taste is strong, rest the gum between your mouth’s jaw and cheek. Your mouth's lining absorbs the nicotine.
After the taste has faded, resume chewing the gum until the taste becomes strong again.
Keep repeating steps 2 and 3 until nicotine craving disappears.
Ready to quit smoking? Chew a piece of NICORETTE® Nicotine Gum whenever you feel the urge to smoke. 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 each day.
