Ways to Quit Smoking - Part 3
In this part were going to take a look at how you can quit
smoking using nicotine gum.
Nicotine gum
Nicotine gum is identical to a chewing gum. Like a chewing gum,
it should not be swallowed down the throat. It has to be used as
prescribed by the physician or as written on the label.
Overdosage should be avoided. The gum should be chewed slowly
until a slight taste of Nicotine is felt in mouth. Once you
taste Nictoine or a slight tingling taste, stop chewing. You
might be tempted to chew more and feel the taste more. But you
should keep the gum on the side of the mouth, between the cheek
and either of the upper or lower jaw. Once the tingling taste
fades away, again start chewing it. Repeat the process or about
half an hour. Remember, you should stop chewing as soon as u
feel the nicotine tingling taste.
The dosage varies from smoker to smoker. A chain smoker (more
then 25 cigarettes a day) should start from 4 mg gum. About 25
gums should be chewed initially. If you are not a chain smoker,
try with 2 mg gum. 25 gums per day is good to start with. Lesser
gums you use better it is for you. Gradually start reducing the
number of gums. If you are using 4 mg gums, try switching to 2
mg. The idea is to reduce the nicotine taken every day. If you
feel like chewing something, try the normal chewing gum or try
one without or little sugar. Any other harmless thing can also
be
tried. Avoid taking coffee immediately before or after
chewing the gum.
Chewing can lead to minor ulcers or jaw ache or even upset
stomach. If chest pain or breathing difficulty are felt,
immediately spit out the gum and rush to the nearest doctor. If
you are already taking some other medicine, do consult your
doctor before starting the gum. Never ever take a cigarette, not
even a puff, while on the gum. Overdose of nicotine may cause
serious health issue. Women who are pregnant or planning to be
one should not take the Nicotine gum.In any ciricumstances,
anyone who plans to quit smoking, should first talk to his/her
physician. The gums don't require any special storage
conditions. Dry cool place are good enough. Don't try to mix
anything in the gum or dip gum into any liquid before putting it
into mouth.
The day you don't feel like taking this gums, you have quitted
the deadly habit of smoking cigarettes.

Do consult your physician before starting the Nicotine Gums.)
