- Nicotine gum is a medicine and must be used a certain way to get the best results
- Chew the gum slowly until it tingles. Then park it between your cheek and gum. When the tingle is gone, begin chewing again, until the tingle returns
- Repeat this process until most of the tingle is gone (about 30 minutes)

- To improve your chances of quitting, use at least 9 pieces per day for the first 6 weeks

- Do not use more than 24 pieces a day
- It is important to complete treatment. If you feel you need to use the gum for a longer period to keep from smoking, talk to your health care provider
