Nicotinell Chewing Gum (Mint) 4mg – 216 Pieces
Nicotinell Mint 4mg Chewing Gum is an extra-strength nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) designed to help manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms when you’re cutting down or quitting smoking. Each sugar-free gum piece delivers 4mg of nicotine using the chew-and-park technique for steady absorption through the lining of your mouth—helping take the edge off urges without smoke, tar, or odour.
The discreet mint flavour freshens breath and suits on-the-go moments (after meals, coffee breaks, driving, social situations). This value pack of 216 pieces supports structured quit plans, step-down programs, or combination therapy when advised by a health professional.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How do I use Nicotinell 4mg gum correctly?
A: Use the chew-and-park method:
-
Chew slowly until the taste becomes strong/tingly.
-
Park the gum between your gum and cheek to absorb nicotine.
-
When the taste fades, chew again briefly and park in a new spot.
Repeat for about 30 minutes, then discard.
Q: How often can I use it?
A: Use one piece when you feel a craving. Space pieces at 1–2 hour intervals initially. Do not exceed the maximum daily number stated on your pack. Gradually reduce pieces per day as your dependence decreases.
Q: Who should choose 4mg vs 2mg?
A: 4mg is generally for stronger dependence (e.g., first cigarette within 30 minutes of waking). If your dependence is lower, consider 2mg. Ask your pharmacist/doctor for personalised guidance.
Q: Can I combine the gum with a nicotine patch?
A: Yes—some quit plans use a patch for background support plus gum for breakthrough cravings. Only combine under professional advice.
Q: Can I smoke while using the gum?
A: Do not smoke while a piece is in your mouth. If you’re following a cut-down-then-quit approach, seek guidance to safely coordinate timing and doses.
Q: Do food or drinks affect absorption?
A: Acidic foods/drinks (coffee, soft drinks, juice) can reduce absorption. Avoid them 15 minutes before and during chewing.
Q: What if I feel nauseous or get hiccups?
A: You may be chewing too quickly or too often. Slow down, use the chew-and-park method, and lengthen intervals. If symptoms persist, seek advice.
Q: How long should I use the gum?
A: Many programs run for 8–12 weeks with a step-down in daily pieces. Use the gum as needed while reducing use over time. Follow the pack directions or your quit plan.
Q: Is it safe with dentures or dental work?
A: Some people with dentures find gum challenging. Consider lozenges, mouth spray, or discuss options with your pharmacist.
Q: Storage and disposal?
A: Store below the temperature stated on pack, in a dry place. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Wrap used gum before disposal.
