When you feel that there is no taste in gum, then chew it again. You need to chew it for half an hour until the taste completely fades.

Special Advise

  • The patient should immediately stop taking Kwitz 4Mg S/F Mint Flav Gum 10'S if he/she experiences nicotine overdose symptoms like palpitation (rapid heartbeat), dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea.
  • If you have dental or gum problems, contact the doctor before using nicotine chewing gums.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Tobacco inhibits the absorption of essential vitamins and nutrients, such as calcium and vitamins C and D. Thus, taking more fruits and vegetables into the diet will help to restore these nutrients and reduce cravings to smoke.
  • Ginseng could weaken dopamine, a neurotransmitter in the brain that is connected with pleasure and is released during tobacco consumption. Taking ginseng tea could reduce the craving for smoking.
  • Chewing gum and mints is the best way to keep your mouth busy, especially when you feel the urge to smoke, so try to chew your gums more.
  • Physical workouts can help a person overcome tobacco cravings. When a person gets involved in physical exercise like cycling, running stairs, and walking, their attention gets diverted to exercise, and they do not feel the urge to take nicotine for some time.
