Nicorette Nicotine Gum Aid to Quit Smoking, 4 mg FAQs
How does Nicorette Gum work?
Nicorette contains a low dose of nicotine released as you chew the gum or as the lozenge dissolves. The level of nicotine uptake is lower than that of cigarettes and the program is designed to let your body gradually adjust to having less nicotine.

You can start immediately. Choose a start date for your quit and begin to use Nicorette that day.

No, Nicorette products do not contain any of these.
If nicotine is the problem, why should I use nicotine-based gum or lozenges?
Quitting smoking may be one of the hardest things you'll ever do, but the benefits of quitting are worth it. Cigarette smoke delivers nicotine very quickly into the body along with over 7,000 chemicals, 69 of which are known carcinogens. The active ingredient in Nicorette is a low dose of therapeutic nicotine that's gradually absorbed by your body to help reduce nicotine withdrawal symptoms, such as a cigarette cravings, difficulty concentrating, irritability, frustration, anxiety and restlessness.

NRT, along with behavioral support, can double your chances of success.

No, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the use of Nicorette only as a stop-smoking aid for cigarette smoking.
Why can’t I eat or drink for 15 minutes before using Nicorette?
Eating or drinking even mildly acidic foods and beverages directly before using or while using Nicorette inhibits nicotine absorption into your bloodstream. A basic alkaline pH is required for the nicotine in Nicorette to be properly released from the gum and absorbed through the lining of your mouth. We recommend waiting 15 minutes after eating or drinking before or while using Nicorette.
How do I use Nicorette gum, and how many pieces should I chew in a day?
- Chew 1 piece of gum every 1-2 hours for the first 6 weeks of your quit.
- Be sure to use at least 9 pieces of Nicorette a day for the first 6 weeks of your quit.
- If you experience strong or frequent cravings, you may use a second piece within the hour. However, do not continuously use one piece after another
- Do not use more than 24 pieces a day.
What is the difference between Nicorette Lozenge, Mini Lozenge and Gum?
While Nicorette Gum can help keep your mouth busy chewing, providing an oral fixation, Nicotine Lozenges are ideal for people who don’t like to or cannot chew gum. A Mini Lozenge will dissolve in your mouth more quickly due to its smaller size – at 3 minutes dissolve time for each 4 mg Lozenge.
