How to use nicotine gum
- Nicotine gum is a flexible quit aid that allows you to use as much or as little as you need
- “Chew, Chew, Park” bite on the gum once or twice, then park between your cheek and gums; repeat every minute or so
- Start with 1 piece every hour or so, then gradually decrease over several weeks
- You may be ready to stop using the gum after you are down to 1 to 2 pieces per day
Useful Tips:
- Do not rush, chew slowly to minimize some side effects
- Carry nicotine gum with you all the time for several months after your treatment
- Often just one cigarette is enough to start smoking again
