Description
Nicotinell Stop Smoking Gum delivers a fast-acting dose of nicotine that absorbs into the bloodstream for up to 30 minutes, helping reduce cravings quickly. The chewing motion also provides a useful distraction, giving your mouth an alternative to smoking.
This gum supports you through your quit-smoking journey by easing cravings and reducing common withdrawal symptoms. Each piece provides a measured amount of nicotine to help you manage urges as they arise. When used correctly, Nicotinell Soft Gum can significantly improve your chance of quitting compared with willpower alone.
Suitable for adults who smoke 20 or more cigarettes per day.

Designed for smokers of 20+ cigarettes per day.
Program A – If you plan to stop smoking before starting:
Chew one gum whenever you feel the need to smoke. Maximum 20 gums per day.
After about 3 months, gradually reduce the daily amount.
When you reach 1–2 pieces a day, you can stop using the gum—typically within 6 months of starting treatment.
Program B – If you cannot stop smoking before starting:
When the urge to smoke arises, chew one gum slowly instead of smoking.
Increase gum use gradually while reducing cigarettes. Maximum 10 gums per day.
When you have reduced your smoking to a level you can quit entirely, switch to Program A.
If you haven’t reduced cigarette use after 6 weeks, seek advice from your doctor or pharmacist.
How to use:
Chew one piece slowly until the flavour becomes strong.
“Park” the gum between your cheek and gum to allow nicotine absorption.
When the taste fades, chew again. Continue this 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 daily.
Do not exceed 20 pieces (2 mg) or 10 pieces (4 mg) in a day.
After 3 months, reduce to 1–2 pieces daily and stop around 6 months.
