  • Nicorette 2mg Gum – for lighter smokers or those smoking up to 20 cigarettes per day

What Is Nicorette Original Gum Used For?

Nicorette Original Gum is a trusted stop smoking aid that delivers nicotine to relieve withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, anxiety, or cravings when reducing cigarette/vape use or quitting altogether. It helps you gradually reduce dependence on nicotine.

Who Is Nicorette Original Gum Suitable For?

Nicorette Original Gum is suitable for adults and adolescents aged 12 years and over. Do not use if allergic to nicotine or any ingredient.

Speak to a healthcare professional before use if you:

  • Have recent heart problems, high blood pressure, stroke, or serious arrhythmias
  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Have stomach ulcers, liver or kidney disease
  • Are taking certain medicines where smoking influences dose requirements

How to Use Nicorette Original Gum

  1. Chew the gum slowly until the flavour becomes strong.
  2. Rest the gum between your cheek and gum to allow nicotine absorption.
  3. When the taste fades, chew again until the taste returns.
  4. Continue this “chew and park” method for around 30 minutes.

Use only one piece at a time and do not exceed 15 pieces per da.

Possible Side Effects of Nicorette Original Gum

Common side effects may include:

  • Throat or mouth irritation
  • Nausea or hiccups
  • Headache or increased salivation
  • Mild indigestion or heartburn

Rarely, some users may experience allergic reactions, fast heartbeat, or dizziness — stop use and seek medical advice if severe side effects occur.

Warnings and Precautions
