Nicotine gum is a type of over-the-counter (OTC) drug used to help people quit smoking. It is a form of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) that works by releasing small amounts of nicotine into the bloodstream to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms. The gum is available in various strengths and flavors, and is usually chewed slowly until the taste becomes strong, then parked between the cheek and gum until the taste fades. It is recommended that users chew no more than 24 pieces of gum per day. Nicotine gum is widely available in pharmacies, supermarkets, and online retailers. It is often sold in combination with other smoking cessation products, such as patches and lozenges. Some companies in the nicotine gum market include GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Novartis, and Perrigo. Show Less Read more
