Overview
Nicotine Replacement Gum for Quitting Smoking
Nicotine gum is one of the most widely used forms of nicotine replacement therapy. It provides rapid relief from cravings by releasing nicotine as you chew, allowing you to manage the urge to smoke as it occurs throughout the day. It is available in two strengths - 2mg for lighter smokers (fewer than 20 cigarettes per day) and 4mg for heavier smokers - and in multiple flavours.
Cloud Pharmacy stocks Nicorette nicotine gum in freshmint and fruitfusion flavours. All products are dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy team.
Who Is Nicotine Gum For?
- Adults aged 18 and over who want to quit smoking or reduce cigarette consumption
- People who prefer on-demand craving relief rather than a continuous patch
- Those who want to keep their hands and mouth occupied as a substitute for smoking
Important Safety Information
- Use the "chew and park" method: chew slowly until a peppery or tingling taste appears, then park the gum between your cheek and gum. Chewing too quickly can cause nausea, hiccups and jaw discomfort
- Do not eat or drink while the gum is in your mouth, as this can reduce nicotine absorption
- Do not smoke while using nicotine gum
- Tell your pharmacist if you have dental work, jaw problems, a stomach ulcer, or heart conditions

FAQ
How many pieces of nicotine gum can I use per day?
Most people use 8 to 12 pieces per day, with a maximum of 15 pieces in 24 hours. Use a piece whenever you feel the urge to smoke. Over an 8 to 12 week programme, gradually reduce the number of pieces used each day.
Can I use nicotine gum with patches?
Yes. Combining a nicotine patch with gum is a well-established approach. The patch provides steady background nicotine while the gum manages breakthrough cravings. This combination is recommended by NHS Stop Smoking services.
