Nicorette is a quit smoking aid. Nicorette gum works by relieving nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms. It may be used to stop smoking abruptly or cut down smoking before stopping.
Who can use: Adult 18+ who smoke 10 to 20 cigarettes per day.
Nicorette Combinaton Therapy: If you have relapsed with single nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) or if you have cravings with single use NRT, you can use Nicorette 2mg Gum, in addition to Nicorette Patch for better craving relief. This may increase your likelihood of quitting.
How to use: Use patch as directed and aim to chew at least 4 pieces (maximum of 12) of Nicorette Gum 2mg every day (see back of pack). After 12 weeks reduce use of Patch or Gum (see pack insert).
How do I use Nicorette Gum (Chew-Park-Chew)?
1. Chew gum slowly until taste is strong or you feel a slight tingling sensation
2. Rest gum between cheek and gums

How many pieces of gum do I use?
1. Stopping immediately
During weeks 1-12, 1 piece when you have an urge to smoke or every 1-2 hours. Do not use more than 20 pieces per day. After 12 weeks, gradually reduce to 1-2 pieces a day and then stop use.
2. Cutting down
Gradually increase gum use (maximum 20 pieces/day) for us to 6 months, while cutting down smoking. *Stop smoking altogether when ready. *Continue to use gum as per "1. Stopping immediately". If you have not cut down in 6 weeks or quit smoking after 9 months, see your doctor/pharmacist.
