Nicorette Gum is a is a type of nicotine replacement therapy. Nicorette Gum contains about 1/3 less nicotine than a normal cigarette. It is designed to replace some of the nicotine your body and brain are used to getting, while gradually reducing the level of nicotine until you no longer need it allowing your body to gradually adjust to having less nicotine. When you chew Nicorette Gum, nicotine is released and absorbed through the lining of the mouth. You may adjust the amount of nicotine you receive by changing how much time you wait before chewing your next piece. Nicorette Gum is designed to reduce withdrawal symptoms when quitting, allowing you to take control of your nicotine cravings.
