WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT NICOTINELL 2MG GUM
Nicotinell 2mg gum is a type of
nicotine replacement therapy
designed to help you stop smoking.
It 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 for 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.
