FAQ

How many Nicorette gums can you have a day?

It is recommended that you don’t have more than 20 pieces of Nicorette fresh fruit gum in a day. If you use Nicorette 2mg strength gum and find that it does not effectively reduce your cravings or withdrawal symptoms, you should discuss changing to 4mg gum with your healthcare provider. Those who smoke 25 cigarettes a day or more are usually recommended to use the 4mg strength. The amount of gum you need to chew each day should gradually decrease with your cravings.

Is it bad to use nicotine gum for a long time?

Most Nicorette gum treatment plans last anywhere from 6 to 12 months depending on the quit method you use and how much you previously smoked. If you feel like you need more gum than recommended each day as treatment progresses, discuss options with your healthcare provider; they may recommend a different method or combining methods. The goal with this gum is to help reduce cravings and withdrawal so you can eventually quit.
