Indications
Nicorette original gum is used to support smoking cessation.
The gum contains nicotine that helps reduce your cravings and withdrawal symptoms by replacing your use of cigarettes. Your system absorbs nicotine while chewing to help support you in breaking the habit of smoking. Whether you use a stop to quit or reduce-to-quit method, Nicorette original gum helps you stop smoking while combating cravings and symptoms of withdrawal.
Dosage and Administration
The dose of Nicorette original gum that is recommended will depend on how many cigarettes you smoke each day. Read packaging labels carefully and listen to all your healthcare provider’s instructions to ensure the best results from treatment. Do not chew more than recommended.

- After the minute, you can chew it again until it tingles and repeat the cycle

FAQ
How long are you supposed to be on Nicorette gum?
Nicorette original gum treatment may last over 6 months depending on the quitting method you use. Those that follow the quit to stop method start using Nicorette gum after their last cigarette and continue up to 6 months until their urge to smoke stops. People who follow a reduce-to-quit method will slowly reduce the number of cigarettes they smoke and replace them with Nicorette gum until they transition to the quit to stop method.
How long does 1 Nicorette gum last?
One piece of Nicorette original gum usually lasts for about 30 minutes. After this time, the gum will no longer be effective at reducing your cravings or withdrawal symptoms because all the nicotine will have been released and absorbed.
If you feel the urge to smoke after chewing a piece of the gum for over 30 minutes, you will need to switch to a new piece of gum.
