Nicotinell Spearmint
Nicotinell Spearmint gum helps you stop or cut down on smoking by reducing cravings and easing withdrawal symptoms.
How to Use
Dosage
Take one piece of gum when you feel like smoking. At first, you might need one piece every 1-2 hours. Usually, 8-12 pieces per day are enough, depending on the gum's strength.
Method
Chew the gum slowly until you feel a strong taste. Then, park it between your cheek and gum. Chew again when the taste becomes weaker. Keep chewing this way for about 30 minutes. Do not swallow the gum. Avoid coffee, acidic drinks, or sodas 15 minutes before and during chewing, as they can reduce nicotine absorption. Do not eat or drink while the gum is in your mouth.
Do not use more than 24 pieces of 2 mg gum or 15 pieces of 4 mg gum per day. Do not take more than one piece per hour.
