Nicotine Gum

Nicotine gum is a fast acting over-the-counter nicotine replacement product which is absorbed through the mucous membranes as it is being chewed. It comes in 2 mg and 4 mg strengths and is used upon the urge to smoke. It can be chewed up to 30 cases per day, but it is not recommended for long-term use.

The recommended period of usage is between 2-3 months, but not to exceed 6 months. Nicotine gum like other nicotine replacement products is for curbing of the withdrawal symptoms associated with the physical addiction to nicotine, but if its use is tapered over time, it might actually help quit smoking.
