Uses of Stopnic 2mg Chewing Gums

Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT)

Directions for Use

Start taking Stopnic 2mg Chewing Gums 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 until you get the peppery taste of nicotine. Then let the gum rest for some time. 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. Lozenges: These are candy-like tablets similar to throat lozenges, especially for persons who do not prefer to chew gums. Keep the lozenge in the mouth and let it dissolve for 20-30 minutes. Do not swallow or chew lozenges. In this way, nicotine gets absorbed into the bloodstream and helps to manage nicotine craving.

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.

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 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).
