How to Use
Dosage
Take one piece of gum when you feel the urge to smoke. Start with 1 piece every 1-2 hours, typically 8-12 pieces a day.
Method
Do not swallow the gum. Chew slowly until the taste is strong, then rest it between your cheek and gum. Chew again when the taste fades. Repeat for about 30 minutes. Avoid coffee, acidic drinks, or sodas 15 minutes before or while chewing, as they can reduce nicotine absorption.
