Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT)

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.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Tobacco inhibits the absorption of essential vitamins, and nutrients, such as calcium and vitamins C and D. Thus, take more fruits and vegetables into the diet, which 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 are the best way to keep your mouth busy, especially when you feel an urge to smoke, so try to chew normal gums more.
  • Physical workouts can help a person overcome tobacco cravings. When a person gets involved in physical exercise like cycling, running, and walking, their attention gets diverted to exercise, and they do not feel the urge to take nicotine for some time.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Tobacco (nicotine) addiction: Smoking or chewing tobacco is both a psychological habit and physical dependence. Tobacco contains a chemical called nicotine, which is short-lived but highly addictive, and its regular usage can make a person crave it. Breathing or chewing tobacco provides a rush of adrenaline in the bloodstream, and it also triggers dopamine that is associated with the pleasure and reward centre of the brain. Regular nicotine consumption is hazardous for health and puts a person at a high risk of lung and heart diseases. However, quitting nicotine is not an easy task. It causes withdrawal symptoms in the body, including irritability, frustration, anger, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, increased appetite, restlessness, depressed mood and insomnia (sleeplessness or lack of sleep).
