NICOTINE GUMS

Nicotine gum is not used like ordinary chewing gum. You chew it a few times and then “park” it between your cheek and the space below your teeth. The nicotine is absorbed mostly in your mouth.Nicotine gum can be used every 1-2 hours by itself to control withdrawal symptoms, or it may be used as needed for stronger cravings when used in combination with nicotine patch.

Vape Nairobi Kenya: How to Use Nicotine chewing Gums

The dose of nicotine gum you use depends upon your smoking pattern. If you usually smoke your first cigarette within 30 minutes of waking, begin with the 4 mg dose. You can gradually reduce the dose and frequency over 8-12 weeks before stopping completely.

Usage:

– Use one piece every 1-2 hours during the first 6 weeks of your quit attempt.

– Anticipate cravings and use a piece before they occur.

– Use at least 9 pieces per day during the initial phase, but not more than 24 pieces per day.

– If you are using the nicotine patch, you will probably find that you don’t need to use the gum as often.

Adjusting Your Dose:

If you smoke less than 10 cigarettes per day or not at all every day, consult a doctor for specific advice.

Important Tips for Effective Use:

1. Do not eat or drink anything acidic such as soda or coffee 15 minutes before and while using, as this will reduce effectiveness.

2. Nicotine gum is different from ordinary chewing gum: Chew very slowly until a tingling sensation is produced, at which time the gum should be “parked” between your cheek and gums. Repeat the chew-and-park process until the tingling is gone (about 30 minutes), changing positions every few minutes.

Precaution:

– Keep out of the reach of children and pets to avoid the risk of accidental ingestion.

– Used gum should be disposed of correctly by wrapping in paper and immediately throwing it away.

– In the event of ingestion, contact a Poison Control Center immediately.
