How to use

For adults and adolescents over 12 years of age.
Read the instructions enclosed in the pack. Chew 1 piece of gum when you feel the urge to smoke. Most people use 8-12 pieces of gum per day.
The product is designed to be chewed. Do not swallow. These gums should not be chewed like ordinary chewing gum. Follow instructions on leaflet in pack.
Only use 1 piece of gum at a time and do not use more than 15 pieces per day of the 4mg gum or 25 pieces per day of the 2mg gums.
After three months, gradually cut down the number of pieces of medicated gum you chew each day.
When you are only chewing 1 or 2 pieces of gum a day, it should be possible to stop using the gum completely.

	Place gum in mouth		Chew slowly, 10-15 times.
	A strong taste appears		Let the gum rest in cheek until the taste decreases in strength

Combinations

You may have tried to quit smoking before, only to relapse. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone - many smokers try to stop a few times before quitting for good. Combination therapy could help smokers with high nicotine dependency, who have already attempted to quit unsuccessfully using nicotine replacement previously. Nicotinell TTS Patches provide a stable level of nicotine over 24 hours, while the gum can help take the edge off the urgent need to smoke. But remember, you shouldn't use combinations long-term, and you should speak to your doctor, nurse or pharmacist before starting this type of treatment.

- a non-smoker or an occasional smoker.

- have heart disease.
- are pregnant or breast feeding.
- are taking any other medications
