Directions for Use

Start taking Nicogum 4 Nicotine Gum Sugar Free Fresh Mint Chewing Gums 10's from the same day you quit taking nicotine (chewing or inhaling tobacco in the form of cigarettes). Gums: These gums should be chewed slowly, unlike regular gums, to get the most nicotine out of them. Chew at least after 15 minutes of eating or drinking. Try to chew the gum until you get the peppery taste or a tingling sensation in your mouth. Then park it between the inside of your cheek and your gums. Allow the nicotine to absorb into your body. When you feel that there is no taste in gum, then chew it again. Repeat this chew and park process for half an hour until the taste completely fades.Lozenges: Do not swallow, bite or chew lozenges. These are candy-like tablets similar to throat lozenges, especially for people who do not prefer to chew gums. Keep the lozenge in the mouth and let it dissolve for 20-30 minutes. In this way, nicotine gets absorbed into the bloodstream and helps to manage nicotine craving.Pastilles: Place the pastille between your gum and cheek and suck it slowly for approximately 10-15 minutes. Do not chew it.
