What is Nicorette gum?
Nicorette gum is the best selling nicotine gum in history. It's helped hundreds of thousands of smokers quit, by helping calm the cravings that make quitting so hard.

How does Nicorette work?
Nicorette® gum is a form of Nicotine Replacement Therapy, or NRT for short. Nicorette® gum is sugar-free and chewing the pieces provides nicotine to your system, working as an aid to help you quit smoking by reducing nicotine withdrawal symptoms.

With Nicorette®, you can control your cravings two ways. Use Nicorette® on a regular schedule to help prevent cravings throughout the day. Use another piece of Nicorette® to help relieve an unexpected craving when you need to.

Nicorette® gum helps you wean yourself from nicotine by allowing you to gradually decrease the dosage until you stop using Nicorette® gum altogether. At the end of a 12-week period, you can be nicotine-free! But remember, your chances of quitting can improve when you use Nicorette® gum with a stop smoking program.

It's nicotine chewing gum, right?
No! Nicorette gum is gum, but you don't chew it like chewing gum. Just take a few slow, deliberate bites (15 or so) until you get a peppery taste and a "tingle". Then park it between your cheek and gum.

Will Nicotine Replacement Therapy help me quit?
