Nicotinell 4mg Gum (96 Pack)

Nicotinell 4mg Chewing Gum is a higher strength nicotine replacement therapy created to support you when stopping smoking or gradually reducing the number of cigarettes you use. The 4mg option delivers a stronger dose of nicotine, making it particularly suitable for heavier smokers or those who experience stronger cravings. Each piece contains nicotine, the substance in cigarettes that leads to dependence. As you chew, nicotine is released steadily and absorbed through the lining of the mouth. This helps control urges to smoke and relieves withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, tension, and restlessness, without exposing you to harmful substances found in tobacco smoke like tar and carbon monoxide. You can use the 4mg gum either to quit smoking completely or as part of a step down approach to cut back before stopping altogether.
