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.
