Nicotinell Fruit 2mg Medicated Chewing Gum can be used to help you stop smoking completely or to cut down the amount of cigarettes you smoke. They can also be used to satisfy cravings in situations where you are unable or unwilling to smoke, such as in confined spaces or in the presence of children. If you are trying to quit using nicotine patches and are experiencing breakthrough cravings then Nicotinell Fruit 2mg Medicated Chewing Gum can help here too.
Nicotinell Fruit 2mg Medicated Chewing Gum is a form of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) that works by slowly releasing nicotine through the lining of the mouth to satisfy your craving for nicotine without the other harmful substances found in tobacco smoke such as tar and carbon monoxide.
Nicotinell Fruit 2mg Medicated Chewing Gum is for those who smoke less than 20 cigarettes per day and smokers of more than 20 cigarettes per day who are reducing their smoking prior to a quit attempt, once they have successfully reduced the number of cigarettes smoked per day. Smokers of more than 30 cigarettes a day should use Nicotinell Fruit 4mg Medicated Chewing Gum and those who smoke between 20 and 30 cigarettes per day can use either according to preference.
To help quit smoking you should also try to use a behavioural support programme to increase your chances of success. Talk to your doctor, nurse, pharmacist or a trained counsellor about this.
