Nicorette Original 2mg Medicated Chewing Gum is an over-the-counter Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT). It is designed to help you stop smoking or cut down on cigarettes by replacing some of the nicotine your body is used to getting from tobacco.
The 2mg strength is recommended for smokers who smoke their first cigarette more than 30 minutes after waking up (or who smoke 20 or fewer cigarettes a day).
Nicorette Gum provides a controlled release of therapeutic nicotine into your body:
Relieves Cravings & Withdrawal: When you chew the gum, nicotine is absorbed through the lining of your mouth.
Reduces Symptoms: It satisfies your physical urge to smoke and relieves uncomfortable nicotine withdrawal symptoms, such as irritability, anxiety, low mood, poor concentration, and restlessness.
Safer Than Smoking: It provides nicotine without the harmful tar, carbon monoxide, and toxins present in cigarette smoke.
🚨 DO NOT Chew Like Regular Gum: Nicorette gum must NOT be chewed continuously like ordinary bubblegum. Swallowing too much nicotine quickly can cause severe nausea, stomach upset, hiccups, and throat irritation.
🚨 Absorption Notice: Do not eat or drink (especially acidic beverages like coffee, fruit juice, or soda) while chewing the gum or for 15 minutes before chewing, as acidic drinks reduce nicotine absorption through your mouth.
To get the right amount of nicotine and avoid an upset stomach, follow the "Chew and Park" technique:
Chew Slowly: Chew one piece of gum slowly until you feel a tingling sensation or taste a strong nicotine flavor (usually after 10–15 chews).
Park the Gum: Stop chewing and "park" the piece of gum between your cheek and gums.
Rest: Leave it parked until the tingling/flavor fades away (about 1 minute).
Repeat: Resume chewing slowly until the tingle returns, then park it in a different spot in your mouth. Repeat this cycle for about 30 minutes, after which the nicotine in the piece will be exhausted.
Weeks 1 to 12: Use 1 piece of gum whenever you feel an urge to smoke, typically 8 to 12 pieces per day. Do not exceed 15 pieces of 2mg gum per day.
Gradual Reduction: After 3 months, gradually reduce the number of pieces you chew each day until you stop using the gum completely.
Sore mouth, throat irritation, or mild jaw muscle tiredness.
Mild nausea, hiccups, indigestion, or excessive saliva production (often caused by chewing too fast).
Fast or irregular heartbeat (palpitations).
Signs of an allergic reaction (hives, severe skin rash, or swelling of the face, tongue, or throat).
Severe dizziness or continuous vomiting.
Keep pieces inside their original blister packaging and box to preserve freshness.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and sunlight.
Keep strictly out of reach of children and pets (nicotine can be very toxic to children if swallowed).
