Stopping smoking is one of the most valuable steps you can take for your vitality, but the intense urge for a cigarette can be a daily challenge. The sudden withdrawal symptoms and the restlessness that comes with them make sticking to your resolution difficult. Nicorette Chewing Gum 4mg menthol mint offers you the necessary, controlled support during these difficult moments. By releasing therapeutic nicotine at the right times, this sugar-free chewing gum helps to soften the sharp edges of withdrawal symptoms. This allows you to maintain control over your attempt to stop and build a healthier lifestyle for yourself and your environment step by step.
Nicorette Chewing Gum contains nicotine bound to a special resin complex. By chewing the gum slowly and intermittently, the nicotine is released gradually. This nicotine is absorbed directly into the body through the oral mucosa, which quickly and effectively satisfies the physical need to smoke without the harmful substances of tobacco smoke. This method of nicotine replacement therapy helps your body gradually get used to a lower nicotine requirement until you are completely independent.

STOPPING SMOKING: 1. Stop smoking completely from the first day. 2. Take 1 Nicorette Menthol Mint 2 mg chewing gum every time you feel the urge to smoke a cigarette. For highly dependent smokers, it is recommended to initially use Nicorette Menthol Mint 4 mg (maximum 14 pieces of gum per day). For other smokers, it is recommended to use the 2 mg chewing gum (maximum 14 pieces of gum per day). 3. Chew slowly, with regular pauses. After about 30 minutes of intermittent chewing, all available nicotine has been released from the gum. You will only notice the effects of nicotine after a few minutes; therefore, you cannot expect the rapid satisfaction that occurs with smoking. You should avoid the use of acidic drinks such as coffee or soft drinks for 15 minutes before and during chewing. These drinks affect the absorption of nicotine in the oral cavity. Slow chewing promotes optimal absorption of nicotine through the oral mucosa. Swallowing saliva should therefore be kept to a minimum. 4. Nicorette has a special strong taste, which may seem a bit strange at first. You will quickly get used to it. 5. The risk of starting to smoke again is highest in the first 3 to 4 months. Therefore, do not stop using Nicorette too quickly during this critical period. 6. Nicorette can only help. Stopping smoking permanently will always require your personal commitment. Advice and support improve the chance of success. 7. Make sure you always have a few pieces of gum in your pocket. Place them in all the places where you previously kept your cigarettes. 8. Gradually reduce the number of pieces of gum per day. The duration of treatment is individual. It is recommended to gradually reduce the use of Nicorette after a treatment period of about three months. When you are only using 1-2 pieces of gum daily, you can stop the treatment. Continuous use of Nicorette for more than one year is not recommended. 9. Keep a few spare pieces of gum in your pocket as the urge to smoke can return suddenly. 10. Keep your pharmacist or doctor regularly informed. They can give you advice. SMOKING LESS: 1. Replace your cigarette with a piece of gum as much as possible. The chewing gum should be used as soon as there is an urge to smoke, in order to keep the smoke-free period as long as possible. This reduces the number of cigarettes. For highly dependent smokers, it is recommended to initially use Nicorette 4 mg (maximum 14 pieces of gum per day). For other smokers, it is recommended to use the 2 mg chewing gum (maximum 14 pieces of gum per day). 2. Chew slowly, with regular pauses.
