Description
Nicotinell Stop Smoking Gum delivers a fast-acting, therapeutic dose of nicotine that absorbs into your bloodstream for up to 30 minutes, helping to quickly ease cravings. The act of chewing also provides a helpful distraction, giving your mouth something to focus on other than smoking.
This gum supports your quit journey by reducing the urge to smoke and relieving some of the withdrawal symptoms that can occur when you stop. Each piece releases a controlled amount of nicotine to help manage cravings as they arise.
When used correctly, Nicotinell Soft Gum can significantly improve your chances of quitting compared with relying on willpower alone.

Directions

Suitable for people who smoke fewer than 20 cigarettes per day.
Program A – If you aim to stop smoking before starting:
Chew one gum when the urge to smoke appears. Do not exceed 20 gums per day.
After roughly 3 months, gradually reduce the number of gums used daily.
Once you reach 1–2 pieces per day, you can stop using Nicotinell Gum—usually within 6 months from starting.
Program B – If you cannot stop smoking before starting:
When you want to smoke, chew one piece slowly instead of lighting a cigarette.
Increase gum use gradually while cutting back on cigarettes. Do not exceed 20 gums per day.
Once your cigarette intake is low enough to quit fully, follow Program A.
If you have not reduced smoking after 6 weeks, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
How to use Nicotinell Gum:
Place one piece in your mouth and chew slowly until the flavour becomes strong.
“Park” the gum between your cheek and gum to allow nicotine to absorb.
When flavour fades, chew again and repeat the cycle for around 30 minutes.
Most people use 8–12 pieces of the 2 mg gum or 4–6 pieces of the 4 mg gum per day.
Do not exceed 20 pieces of the 2 mg gum or 10 pieces of the 4 mg gum daily.
Nicotinell Patch + Gum or Lozenges Combination
Nicotinell Patches provide steady nicotine throughout the day, and for stronger cravings you may add Nicotinell Gum 2 mg or Nicotinell Lozenges 2 mg.
You may combine Nicotinell Patches 21 mg with Nicotinell Gum 2 mg or Nicotinell Lozenges 2 mg.
How to use the combination of Nicotinell patch + gum or lozenge:
Use both products as directed for 12 weeks. After this period, wean yourself off nicotine replacement therapy:
Stop using the patch and gradually reduce gum or lozenge use until no longer needed, or
Continue the same number of gum or lozenge pieces and switch to the Step 2 patch for 3–4 weeks, then Step 3 for another 3–4 weeks. Once the patch is stopped, gradually reduce gum or lozenge use.
