As you chew, Nicotinell Nicotine Gum releases a fast, therapeutic dose of nicotine that is absorbed into your bloodstream for up to 30 minutes. The chewing action also works to distract you from your craving, giving your mouth something else to do (other than smoking).

Directions

There are two programs to use:

• Program A: If you would like to stop smoking completely:

  2. Gradually increase gum use for up to 6 months, while cutting down smoking. Do not exceed 20 gums in a day.
  3. When you have cut down the number of cigarettes you smoke to a level you feel you ca nquit completely, follow Program A above.
  4. If you have not cut down the number of cigarettes you smoke each day after 6 weeks, see your doctor or pharmacist.

Chewing Technique:

• To get maximum effectiveness it’s critical you follow a “chew and park” method for at least 30 minutes
  1. Chew one piece of gum slowly until the taste becomes strong
  2. “Park” the gum between your gum and cheek to absorb the nicotine
  3. When the taste has faded, repeat the process for up to 30 minutes
