How to Use
Dosage
Chew one piece of gum when you feel like smoking, usually every 1-2 hours at the beginning of treatment. Typically, 8-12 pieces per day are sufficient, depending on the gum strength.
Method
Do not swallow the gum. Chew one piece slowly until you feel a strong taste, then rest it between your gum and cheek. Chew again when the taste fades. Repeat this for about 30 minutes. Avoid coffee, acidic drinks, and soft drinks 15 minutes before and while chewing, as they can reduce nicotine absorption.
Important
Do not use more than 24 pieces of 2 mg gum or 15 pieces of 4 mg gum per day. Do not use more than one piece per hour.
