THREE x 96 pcs ( 288 pcs) Habitrol 2mg Gum Available in Classic, Mint and Fruit flavors. Please make your flavour choice from the dropdown menu above.
We recommend 2mg gum if you are smoking less than 20 cigarettes a day, and 4mg gum if you are smoking more than 20 cigarettes per day. Habitrol Gum supplies less nicotine than a cigarette (approximately one third the amount) and using gum instead of smoking means you avoid the harmful physical (irritation) and chemical (eg tars, carbon monoxide) effects associated with smoking.
You do not need to chew the same number of gum pieces as the number of cigarettes you used to smoke. You can use the gum on a regular basis throughout the day (say, every hour or so) or you can use the gum when you feel you need to. If you are using the gum regularly through the day we recommend that you do not exceed a maximum usage of 24 pieces per day.
Correct chewing technique is important – this is not a “normal” chewing gum:
-
Chew until a strong taste or slight tingling sensation is felt (~ a minute)
-
Stop chewing and place or "park" the gum between cheek and gum (the nicotine is released slowly from the gum resin and absorbed directly from the lining of the mouth).
-
When the tingling has almost gone, start to chew again
-
Each gum of gum can be chewed for about 30 minutes
We suggest you consider using Habitrol gum regularly for at least 3 months. as part of your programme to become smokefree. After this time, you can gradually begin to reduce the amount you are using and when down to only 1 or 2 pieces a day, you can stop (although you may wish to have some gum on hand in case you face any particularly tempting situation) Some people find the lure of cigarettes so strong that they end up maintaining themselves on the gum. This harm-reduction approach has it's merits (it's inherently safer than smoking), but we recommend that if you are using this product longer than 6 months that you seek your doctor's advice.
A support programme and/or help from your pharmacist, doctor or a trained counsellor will increase your chances of quitting smoking.
Do NOT use if:
-
you are continuing to smoke ! ( this may lead to nicotine overdosage)
-
you are pregnant or breastfeeding, unless after detailed advicefrom your doctor or pharmacist
-
you are a child
-
you suffer from active oesophagitis, inflammation of the mouth or pharynx, or gastric or peptic ulcers
-
you have ingested coffee, juices, or fizzy drinks in the 15 minutes before using the gum (this may reduce the absorption of nicotine)
-
you wear dentures, unless on the advice of your dentist
Does Habitrol Gum have any side effects?

A bitter taste.

None of the above side effects are serious and if you get them, try reading the chewing instructions again to check you are not chewing the gum too fast or too often. Other side effects are uncommon, but may include palpitations, an irregular heartbeat, a rash or itching or swelling of the tongue or mouth, If any of these occur stop using the gum and tell your doctor or pharmacist.
