There are two programs to use:
Program A: If you would like to stop smoking completely before starting the program:
1. Use one gum when you feel the urge to smoke. Do not exceed 20 gums in a day.
2. After around 3 months, gradually cut down the amount of gum you chew each day.
3. When you are down to 1 - 2 pieces per day, you can stop using Nicotinell Gum. This should be possible within 6 months from the start of treatment.

Program B: If you cannot stop smoking completely before starting the program:
1. When you feel the urge to smoke, you may chew one gum slowly instead of smoking a cigarette.
2. Gradually increase gum use, while cutting down smoking. Do not exceed 10 gums in a day.
3. When you have cut down the number of cigarettes you smoke to a level you feel you can quit completely, follow Program A above.
4. If you have not cut down the number of cigarettes you smoke each day after 6 weeks, see your doctor or pharmacist.

How do I use Nicotinell Gum?
1. Place one gum in your mouth and chew slowly until the taste becomes strong.
2. 'Park' the gum between your gum and cheek to absorb the nicotine.
3. When the taste has faded chew again, repeat the process for around 30 minutes.
Most people use 8-12 pieces of the 2 mg gum or 4-6 pieces of the 4 mg gum in a day. Do not use more than 20 pieces of the 2 mg gum or 10 pieces of the 4 mg gum in a day. Cut down usage after 3 months to 1-2 pieces per day, stopping at around 6 months (or earlier if you're ready).
