How is nicotine gum used?
You'll use this starting on your quit date, and you'll use it as often during the day as you need to to control your nicotine withdrawal symptoms. That means some people will chew three pieces a day, some six, some twelve pieces a day. You use as many as you need so that you are not having withdrawal symptoms, and you keep that under control. You'll continue this for six weeks, or twelve weeks, slowly decreasing the number of pieces that you use a day, once you've quit smoking, and felt comfortable, and then eventually taper yourself off.
