Overview
Habitrol Chewing Gum 2mg Fruit Flavour 96s
Habitrol 2mg Fruit Flavoured gum is intended to aid smoking cessation by reducing nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
We recommend 2mg chewing gum if you are smoking less than 20 cigarettes a day. You do not need to chew the same number of gum pieces as the number of cigarettes you used to smoke. You can use the gum on a regular basis throughout the day (say, every hour or so) or you can use the gum when you feel you need to. If you are using the gum regularly through the day we recommend that you do not exceed a maximum usage of 24 pieces per day.
The nicotine is absorbed into the blood stream through the lining of the mouth when the gum is chewed. Habitrol chewing gum 2mg Fruit Flavoured contains approximately one third less nicotine than a cigarette, and allows you to avoid the harmful physical and chemical effects associated with smoking.
The recommended minimum length of treatment is three months. You can follow the recommended 12-week dosage program, or you can use the gum as needed.
Chewing a piece of Habitrol chewing gum 2mg Fruit Flavoured at the onset of nicotine cravings should alleviate nicotine cravings and/or withdrawal symptoms.
Most people find they can cease using the gum after six months, but some heavy smokers choose to continue using the gum in order to prevent relapse.

Directions / How to Use
Place 1 piece of chewing gum in your mouth and bite slowly and deliberately about 15 times, or until a strong taste or tingling sensation is felt.
These sensations indicate nicotine release.
Stop chewing and park or place the chewing gum between your cheek and the gums.
When the intensity of these sensations decreases or disappears, start to chew the gum again.
Repeat this cycle of "park and chew" for about 30 minutes, or until the peppery taste and tingling sensation subside.
