How to use
- Before using, make sure your hands are clean.
- Begin using Nicorette Icy White Gum on your quit day.
- Chew the gum slowly until you taste a strong flavor or feel a tingling sensation in your mouth.
- Once you feel this, park the gum between your cheek and gums.
- Leave the gum in place without chewing for about a minute or until the taste or tingle is gone.
- Start chewing the gum again when the taste or tingle fades then park it back again in a different place in your mouth.
- Repeat this "chew and park" method for about 30 minutes or until the taste or tingle is completely gone.
- Use 1 piece of gum every 1-2 hours for the first 6 weeks of your quit attempt.
- Make sure to follow your doctor's instructions precisely and not to exceed 24 pieces of gum per day. It's also important to tell your doctor about all your other medicines and any health problems. And remember, Nicorette isn't a magic cure—it's a tool to help you quit smoking, and it only works as part of a bigger plan to break the habit.
