The nicotine gum is an FDA-approved medicine that can help people quit smoking. It can be used every 2 hours by itself to control withdrawal symptoms, or it may be used as needed for stronger cravings when used in combination with nicotine patch.

British American Tobacco (BAT) subsidiary Nicoventures Trading received approval last month to sell its Zonnic line of products as a nicotine replacement therapy for over-18s to help them stop smoking. The pouches, which contain 4 mg of nicotine, were approved under Canada's Natural Health Products Regulations.

Nicotine gum helps by replacing some of the nicotine you would normally get from smoking; it can help to manage cravings. Using the nicotine gum can also help to manage some of the other symptoms of nicotine withdrawal when you quit such as difficulty concentrating, frustration, restlessness and anxiety.

Moisten the pouch lightly with your tongue and place it under your lip. Keep it there for approximately 30 minutes. You can then choose how much nicotine you wish to receive. If you feel that you would like a greater effect, then simply move the pouch and more nicotine will be released.

Nicotine gum is usually recommended for 6 to 12 weeks, with the maximum being 6 months. Tapering down the amount of gum you use as you approach 3 months may help you stop using it. But it is better to keep using the gum rather than starting to smoke again.

Quit-smoking medicines containing nicotine (NRTs) do not cause death and diseases like cigarettes do. Most of the dangers of smoking are due to the hundreds of toxic chemicals in the cigarette smoke, not the nicotine. Using a nicotine medicine will not cause cancer like smoking.

GlaxoSmithKline, marketers of Nicorette, advises people to "stop using the nicotine gum at the end of 12 weeks," and to talk to a doctor if you "still feel the need" to use it. But that guideline hasn't kept some people from chomping on it for many months and even years.
