WHAT NICORETTE
®
ICY MINT GUM
IS USED FOR
nicorette
®
icy mint gum is used
to relieve withdrawal symptoms
and reduce the cravings for
nicotine that you get when you
try to stop smoking.
HOW NICORETTE
®
ICY MINT GUM
WORKS
When you stop smoking, your
body misses the nicotine that you
have been absorbing. You may
experience unpleasant feelings
and a strong desire to smoke
(craving). This indicates you
were dependent on nicotine.
When you chew nicorette
®
icy
mint gum, nicotine is released
and passes into your body
through the lining of your mouth.
The nicotine released from the
gum is sufficient to relieve the
unpleasant withdrawal
symptoms. It will also help to
stop the craving to smoke, but
nicorette® icy mint gum will
not give you the “buzz” you get
from smoking a cigarette.
