About Nicorette Freshmint Gum

Nicorette Freshmint Gum is a nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) designed to help relieve nicotine withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings when stopping smoking or vaping. It works by releasing controlled amounts of nicotine through the lining of the mouth, helping to manage urges without the harmful toxins found in cigarettes or e-cigarettes.

Nicorette Freshmint Gum is available in two strengths to suit different levels of nicotine dependence:

• Nicorette Freshmint Gum 2mg – for light to moderate smokers or vapers
• Nicorette Freshmint Gum 4mg – for heavier smokers or vapers
