Nicorette 4mg Classic Original Gum 210 Pieces
High-strength nicotine replacement therapy for heavier smokers to help stop smoking and relieve cravings
Nicorette 4mg Classic Original Gum is a high-strength nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) designed to help adults stop smoking or reduce cigarette consumption before quitting completely. Suitable for smokers of more than 20 cigarettes per day, this medicated chewing gum helps relieve nicotine withdrawal symptoms and cravings while providing the familiar Original flavour. The large 210-piece pack offers excellent value and extended support throughout your quit-smoking journey.
Overview
Nicorette 4mg Classic Original Gum contains 4mg of nicotine (as nicotine resinate) to help relieve nicotine withdrawal symptoms and reduce cigarette cravings when stopping smoking. By replacing some of the nicotine previously obtained from cigarettes, it helps make quitting more manageable without exposing you to the harmful tar, carbon monoxide and thousands of toxic chemicals found in tobacco smoke.
The 4mg strength is recommended for adults who smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day or who have stronger nicotine dependence. Used correctly with the chew-and-rest technique, the gum releases nicotine gradually for absorption through the lining of the mouth, helping to manage cravings throughout the day.
Stopping smoking is one of the most important steps you can take to improve your health. Using nicotine replacement therapy alongside behavioural support can significantly increase your chances of quitting successfully.
