Indication Information
**2\. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT NICOTINELL GUM** Nicotinell 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. A support programme and/or help from your pharmacist, doctor or a trained counsellor will increase your chances of quitting smoking. If an adverse event occurs with the use of the 4mg gum, it is recommended to use the lower dose form or consult your healthcare professional. If you smoke your first cigarette within 30 minutes of waking, or smoke 20 or more cigarettes per day, you should use Nicotinell 4mg gum; otherwise Nicotinell 2mg gum is recommended.
