Quitting smoking can be a mentally and physically exhausting challenge. The sudden need for nicotine disrupts your daily routine, affects your focus, and can lead to irritability and restlessness. Nicorette Chewing Gum 2mg freshfruit offers you the necessary support to get through these difficult moments in a controlled manner. As your reliable health partner, VitAdvice helps you to gradually reduce your nicotine needs, so that you can regain control over your vitality and a healthy lifestyle.

Key benefits

• Effective support for withdrawal: Helps suppress the intense urge for a cigarette by releasing a small amount of nicotine in a controlled manner via the oral mucosa.
• Fresh and pleasant taste: The freshfruit flavour provides a pleasant taste experience that lowers the threshold for switching from smoking to chewing.
• Flexible, customised dosage: Ideal for both quitting immediately and gradually reducing the number of cigarettes per day.

How it works

The active ingredient in this chewing gum is nicotine resinate. During slow and intermittent chewing, nicotine is gradually released over 30 minutes. This nicotine is absorbed directly through the oral mucosa, which makes the sharp edges of withdrawal symptoms disappear without the harmful substances of tobacco smoke. This gives you the peace and space to work on your new, smoke-free habits and contributes to a healthier family life.

Use & Dosage

STOPPING SMOKING
1. Stop smoking completely from the first day.
2. Take one Nicorette chewing gum whenever you feel the urge to smoke. For heavily dependent smokers, it is recommended to initially use Nicorette (/Freshfruit) 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. Quitting smoking for good 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 per day, 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 chewing 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 heavily dependent smokers, it is recommended to initially use Nicorette (/Freshfruit) 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. 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.
