Nicorette Gum - Icy White 2mg 210's
Fast craving relief
Actively fights cravings to help you quit
A fresh-tasting way to stop smoking
When you stop smoking, you may experience withdrawal symptoms and cravings. When you chew Nicorette® Gum it releases nicotine, which passes through the lining of your mouth and into your body, working to relieve these withdrawal symptoms.
Cravings may strike as your body adjusts to not getting its regular dose of nicotine. The amount of nicotine contained in Nicorette® Gum helps stop the craving to smoke.
Choose from two strengths of Nicorette® chewing gum:
2mg Nicorette® Gum – For those who smoke 20 or fewer cigarettes per day. It can also help you reduce the number of cigarettes you smoke and increase your smoke-free intervals.
4mg Nicorette® Gum – For those who smoke more than 20 cigarettes per day, to help meet withdrawals of high serum nicotine levels as a result of heavy smoking.
Chew a piece of Nicorette® Gum whenever you feel an urge to smoke – no more than 15 pieces per day. This should satisfy your craving. After 30 minutes the gum will be exhausted as all the nicotine has been absorbed by your body.
Nicorette Icy White 2 mg Gum product strength is suitable for those smoking 20 cigarettes or fewer a day. For adults and children 12 years and over: Please note the chewing technique below. Chew one piece when you feel the urge to smoke. Do not use more than 15 pieces a day.
Chewing Technique:
Chew slowly until the taste becomes strong.
Rest between gum and cheek.
Chew again when taste has faded.
Nicorette Icy White 2mg gum is used to relieve and/or prevent withdrawal symptoms and reduce the cravings you get when you try to stop smoking or when cutting down the number of cigarettes you smoke. It provides a safer alternative to smoking for both the individual and those around them. However it can be used in a number of different ways, either to completely replace all your cigarettes, or if you do not feel ready to stop smoking completely, to replace certain cigarettes and therefore help you to cut down the number of cigarettes you smoke. It may also help increase your motivation to quit. Requires willpower. Read the package leaflet before use.

Nicorette® Gum acts fast to help you deal with cravings. Nicorette® Gum 4mg relieves cravings for up to nearly three hours.
If you chew Nicorette® Gum continuously, rather than following the Nicorette chewing technique, it can release nicotine too quickly and you may swallow it. This might lead to an upset stomach, hiccups or an irritated throat. If stomach problems persist, you should stop using Nicorette® Gum and contact a doctor immediately.
Pharmaceutical waste should be returned to community pharmacies.
Nicorette® gum is not the same as ordinary chewing gum, as it should be chewed to release the nicotine then rested to allow the nicotine to be taken into your body.
Chewing too continuously will result in the nicotine being released too quickly and swallowed. Therefore, you should chew slowly until the taste becomes strong, then rest it between your cheek and gums.
When the taste has faded, chew again. Do this for around half an hour. Dispose of the gum carefully and do not swallow.
