How Do You Chew Nicotine Gum?

Nicotine gum is a type of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) that can help you quit smoking. It works by delivering nicotine to your body in a way that mimics the way you would get it from smoking a cigarette. This can help to reduce your cravings for cigarettes and make it easier to quit.

There are two main types of nicotine gum: regular strength and extra strength. Regular strength gum contains 2 mg of nicotine per piece, while extra strength gum contains 4 mg of nicotine per piece. The type of gum you choose will depend on how much nicotine you are used to getting from cigarettes.

To use nicotine gum, you simply chew it like you would a regular piece of gum. The nicotine will be absorbed through your mouth and into your bloodstream. You should chew the gum for about 30 minutes at a time, or until the nicotine craving goes away.

Here are some additional tips for chewing nicotine gum:

Chew the gum slowly and deliberately. This will help to release the nicotine more slowly and prevent you from getting too much nicotine all at once.

Do not swallow the gum. Swallowing the gum will not release the nicotine into your bloodstream, and it can be harmful.

Do not chew more than 24 pieces of gum per day. Chewing too much nicotine gum can lead to side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
