Amazon.com Product Description
When you're ready to quit, Nicorette can help you take charge--by giving you control over your cravings. Use it on a regular schedule to prevent cravings throughout the day--and when an especially tough craving hits, only Nicorette gives you the freedom to chew an extra piece of gum. Nicorette medicated gum is a form of Therapeutic Nicotine, which means it provides nicotine to your system as a temporary aid to help you quit smoking by reducing nicotine withdrawal symptoms.

 | Nicotine is a stronger addiction than most people realize--and cigarettes are a very efficient nicotine delivery system. Each puff sends nicotine to the brain within 10 seconds, activating areas of the brain that produce feelings of pleasure and reward by raising dopamine levels. Dopamine is the same substance involved in addiction like cocaine and heroin. So we have another puff. And another. Soon the brain's chemical structure actually changes. It becomes hooked into wanting more and more nicotine to make the effects last. When the brain stops getting the nicotine it's used to, we begin to feel withdrawal cravings--actually the brain craving nicotine. As this nicotine addiction sets in, the brain links everyday habits with smoking, boosting the role of cigarettes. Normal everyday activities begin to trigger the urge to smoke. Drinking coffee in the morning. Talking on the phone. Work breaks. Driving. So when you try to quit smoking, you're actually fighting a battle on two fronts: 1) physical--that is, nicotine addiction--and 2) habitual, the activities, moods and events linked with smoking.

 | Cravings and habits go hand in hand for anyone trying to quit. Nicorette helps you address both. First, let's talk about cravings. Once you stop smoking, that's when your brain really starts screaming for nicotine. Your withdrawal cravings can actually intensify in the days after you quit. That's where Therapeutic Nicotine--like Nicorette--is proven effective. Nicorette delivers small amounts of nicotine--without the thousands of other toxins and chemicals contained in tobacco smoke--relieving withdrawal cravings. By helping stop cravings before they start, Nicorette increases your chance of success by allowing you to focus your willpower on changing your smoking habits. Now to help you change those habits, Nicorette lets you take advantage of an individualized support program from Committed Quitters, an online plan designed to help you quit smoking for good. You can enroll free with the Personal Code from your Nicorette User's Guide. And you'll receive a stop-smoking plan tailored to your specific needs, with plenty of tips to help you along. Using Nicorette with Committed Quitters significantly increases your chances of quitting.

| Once you've decided to quit, Nicorette helps you take charge. You use it on a regular schedule throughout the day to help prevent cravings. And if a strong or suddenly provoked craving comes, you can chew an extra piece--as long as you use no more than 24 pieces a day.
| |
 | Start with the right strength: Nicorette gum comes in two strengths:
Follow the Nicorette 12-week plan: Nicorette is designed to allow your body to adjust to having less nicotine over a 12-week period through a gradual, step-down process. You use fewer and fewer pieces of Nicorette until you no longer need it at all. But remember, it's designed for a 12-week course of therapy. And to improve your chances of quitting successfully, start with at least 9 pieces of Nicorette a day.
|
 | |
 | Because Nicorette is medicated gum, you don't chew it the same way you chew regular gum. Here's how to use it:
|
 | |
 | Fresh Mint is coated for a delicious burst of flavor. Fruit Chill is double-coated for intense fruit flavor with a hint of mint. You can change flavors anytime you want.

4.0 out of 5 stars
It will work if you do it right,
By
This review is from: Nicorette Gum Starter Kit, Mint, 2 mg, 110 Count Box (Health and Beauty)
Are you tired of throwing away big money day after day for what basically amounts to a slow, painful death? Sick of coughing up phlegm when you wake up each morning? Maybe you're just tired of smelling like a casino? I smoked for over 10 years but got off the death sticks with the help of Nicorette. I tried the inhaler and hated it, felt like I was breathing hot pepper into the back of my throat. In all fairness I really didn't give it a chance as I lost it the day after I bought it after only a couple uses. Most people I know haven't been able to quit using the patches alone but your results may vary. Personally, the gum satisfies the urge to keep my mouth busy. If you're a nailbiter or you chew on pen caps, etc... you probably have the same oral fetish and the gum is your best bet. This will not take care of that strange craving your lungs get for nicotine (only smokers will understand this) but it will take care of the cravings your body gets as long as you do it right. First, quit the stupid rationalizations and realize that you ARE an addict. You can tell yourself that you can quit any day you want but we both know it's a line of B.S. If that were true, you would've have quit long ago. Nicotine is as addictive as heroin, just a lot more subtle. The more you realize that you are in a battle against an expensive drug, the more determined you will be to keep going. Second, understand that you will have to chew a lot of gum before you can quit successfully. The first time I tried to quit I got back on the smokes because I stopped the gum too early. Start with one box just to find out if this will get you off the smokes. Once you do quit, and you find Nicorette to be an acceptable substitute, then make sure you have plenty of boxes so you don't run out and immediately bum a smoke off of someone. Chewing eight pieces a day, you only have a couple weeks worth in this starter kit. Get the larger boxes of refills to save money. Third, this is important, you MUST chew at least eight pieces a day! There's a reason the box is explicit about this. Don't wait until you start craving a cigarette, keep the gum in your mouth beforehand so you don't get the cravings at all. If you do this, you'll be surprised at how easy it is to quit. Fourth, this is not regular chewing gum. The common complaint is it upsets the stomach. You don't chew it constantly like regular gum, instead you only chew it until you start to get a peppery taste in your mouth (the nicotine) then park the gum between your cheek and gums until it goes away. Chew a little more, park it, etc... until the nicotine is gone. You probably will get an upset stomach at first as your mouth is not used to the taste and is generating more saliva. This goes away quickly though. Finally, if you are a habitual smoker (i.e. first thing in the morning, while driving, right after a meal, etc...) just get used to having the Nicorette around. Instead of reaching for a cigarette first thing in the morning, chew a piece of gum first thing, and so on. All of the above are in the instructions but the steps bear repeating because they are all important. Even if you do start smoking again, don't throw away the progress you made. Just admit it was a mistake, throw away the rest of the pack and get back on the gum. Quitting smoking is not impossible, people do it every day so there's no reason you can't quit too. Just set a date and do it. Best wishes.

Nicorette gum is a life saver,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Nicorette Gum, Original, 4 mg, 170 Count Box (Health and Beauty)
I attended St. Helena Hospital's smoking cessation program in May. They, along with the Mayo Clinic, support "nicotine replacement therapy" 100%. 14 people from around the U.S. attended this program and not one of us has returned to cigarettes as a result of NRT. Yes, I chew the gum all the time but I no longer am being poisoned by the hundreds of poisonous substances in cigarettes. Thank heavens for Nicorette.

worth while,
By
This review is from: Nicorette Gum, Mint, 4 mg, 110 Count Box (Health and Beauty)
I was a bit skeptical when trying this product, however upon actually using it for a couple weeks now, I see that it actually works.
However, it doesn't make quitting smoke a breeze, but it certainly helps overcome cravings. It's just important to read the instructions of how frequently and one should chew the gum as well as HOW one chews it, because I originally made the mistake of chewing it like regular gum and nearly made myself ill. All in all, quitting smoking is tough and to my surprise Nicorette actually makes it seem possible. 2115|R2VS7LXJ3S5LO5;2115|R29XSVOHH3BQVM;2115|R2WVPPPWBQSJT9;
