Product Description
Nicotinell Gum has proven a popular and effective way to help kick the smoking habit once and for all. Nicotinell gum works by releasing nicotine, which is absorbed into the lining of the mouth. This helps to alleviate any withdrawal symptoms while gradually reducing the overall dose of nicotine. The nicotine replacement provided by Nicotinell gum helps to alleviate some of the unpleasant withdrawal effects that frequently occur when giving up smoking. Using Nicotinell gum is safer than smoking because it does not contain other dangerous substances such as tar, which causes cancer and is present in tobacco smoke.
It is recommended that you start with the 2mg however heavy smokers may need to use the 4mg to help beat the initial cravings. Each pack of Nicotinell Fruit gum contains 96 pieces of gum.
Nicotinell should be used for around 6 months although the actual time needed to completely quit differs from person to person. When you first start to quit is the time you will need the most support so during the first 4 – 6 weeks try using 1 piece of Nicotinell per hour, however if your craving for a cigarette is still strong you may use up to a maximum dose of 25 pieces of the 2mg or 15 pieces of the 4mg per day. After the first 4 – 6 weeks the dosage should be reduced to 1 piece every other hour and gradually reduce the amount used until you only use 1 – 2 pieces of Nicotinell per day.
