Nicotinell Fruit 2mg Chewing Gum and Nicotinell Mint 2mg Chewing Gum are each available in packs of 12 and 96 pieces of gum.
Nicotinell 2mg gum contains a nicotine resin in a chewing gum formulation. When chewed, nicotine is released slowly and absorbed through the lining of the mouth. This nicotine replacement alleviates some of the unpleasant withdrawal effects that frequently occur when giving up smoking such as feeling ill or irritable.
Nicotinell gum can also reduce your desire to smoke by providing some of the nicotine previously inhaled from cigarettes and therefore helps your willpower to resist cigarettes. Nicotinell 2mg gum is best suited to those who are light smokers. Nicotinell 4mg gum is particularly useful for heavier smokers who are more likely to experience severe withdrawal symptoms, and for those who have previously failed to stop smoking with nicotine replacement therapy.
A support programme and/or help from your pharmacist, doctor or a trained counsellor will increase your chances of quitting smoking.

How to use Nicotinell 2mg gum
Nicotinell gum is not like ordinary chewing gum, you should stop smoking completely when you start using it. One piece of chewing gum should be chewed when you feel the urge to smoke.
It is important to chew correctly. If you are a denture wearer and have difficulty chewing the gum a different form of nicotine replacement therapy such as a patch or lozenge may suit you better.
Nicotinell chewing technique:
1 Chew one piece of gum slowly until taste becomes strong.
2 Rest the piece of gum between your gum and cheek.
3 Chew again when taste has faded.
4 Repeat chewing routine for about 30 minutes.
Most people use 8-12 pieces of 2mg gum a day. Do not use more than 1 piece of gum at a time and do not use more than 25 pieces of 2mg gum a day. After about 3 months you must gradually cut down the number of pieces you chew each day, until you have stopped using Nicotinell 2mg gum completely. You should not use the gum for more than 6 months. If after 6 months you think you still need treatment then talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
Pregnant and breast feeding women are advised to give up smoking without the use of nicotine products. Do not use if you are pregnant or breast feeding except on the advice of your doctor.
Where recommended the gum should be used just after breast feeding and not during the two hours before.
In the event of an accidental overdose or if a child has eaten any, contact your doctor or nearest hospital casualty department and show them the packet or leaflet, if possible. Nicotinell gum is not suitable for children, who may develop signs of nicotine overdose, including headache, sickness, stomach pains and diarrhoea.
