Do you help people from the USA? I am from Texas and want to quit smoking, like forever. I have a plan and I would just like to consult an expert as well.
it makes my stomach hurt :/ like you know how when you chew gum normally, you’ll salivate too, and you typically swallow that saliva. but with the nic gum when i swallow the saliva it feels like it hurts my stomach :/
Eat something light, like some crackers or toast. Maybe some soup. Also it will make it worse if you chew it like regular gum… This is different than gum. Not sure how you are using it, but maybe that could be why you’re having the stomach pain… It may also be ulcers… Some other gastrointestinal issue. This gum can aggravate that stuff… Not sure if you’re still using it or not, but if you are, just put the gum in your mouth, chew 2 times, and park it on one side of your mouth, watch for the tingling, as when the tingling stops you need to switch to the other side of your cheek, same thing, 2 chews, park other side of mouth, repeat. It’s usually 2 minutes, give or take. It could also be that the mg (strength) of gum you are using is too strong for how much you smoke. I think for smokers, the stomach issue’s are usually caused because of that, or an underlying stomach condition, such a ulcers, and gastroenteritis etc… Personally speaking, when I used the gum, along with the patches, they did not help me whatsoever with my cravings… Unsuccessful time after time again. However, I stopped smoking cigarettes and switched to vaping, (which was supposed to be temporary) but I ended up continuing to use it for about a year, maybe less. But, I just started the gum and patches 2 days ago, absolutely no cravings at all! So there is another thing that you could do, kind of like a step, get off the cigarettes, break that habit, the cravings, once that’s gone, then give it some time and then discontinue, and start the patches along with the gum if you think you can handle the gum. Just try to use the gum with less nicotine in it. Or get the nicotine inhaler instead to go with the patches. I highly recommend (if you are still smoking) to switch to a vaping device! Start at a medium strength, then every week or 2 go down a couple of MG’s and keep doing so until you’ve reached the lower amount… Then just stay at that amount and try to puff less, then stop altogether, using the inhaler, patches, gum, whatever works best for you. The thing I hate about the vaping is that you don’t really know how much you are getting, whereas the cigarettes it goes by how much you smoke… But I’m on day 2, and I’ve had literally 0 cravings or withdrawals. With the cigarettes even after 2 hours of using the smoking aids I was dying for a cigarette… I highly recommend this method! I hope you have made it though, and that you did manage to quit smoking. Best of luck to you! 🤞
Hi William, some people have found success using vaping to quit smoking, but vaping still carries health risks. We are still learning about the long-term health risks, but vaping can increase one's risk of heart disease, asthma and other respiratory conditions, and damage one's immune system: quitnow.ca/vaping If someone is looking to quit smoking, we recommend first trying proven and safe quit methods like nicotine replacement therapy and coaching with one of our trained Quit Coaches. We also advise that you make a plan to quit vaping eventually, too. Support to quit or reduce vaping is available through QuitNow: quitnow.ca/join
Hi nicola dollard, we recommend talking to your pharmacist if you are having difficulty with the inhaler. Keep in mind that there are several other quit tools available if the inhaler is not working for you! Take a look here: quitnow.ca/quitting/preparing-quit/medications-can-help. You can also give one of our Quit Coaches a call for help determining which is the best option for you 1-877-455-2233. All the best :)
Hi Ghufraan chishti, nicotine gum does not usually give a nicotine buzz . It's designed to slowly release nicotine over the course of about an hour, to help reduce cravings. We recommend talking to your pharmacist or to a Quit Coach at 1-877-455-2233 if you have questions on using the gum or other quit aids. :)
Hi Dame Deci, Gum should be chewed slowly until a peppery or minty taste emerges, then parked between cheek and gum for one minute to allow for release of nicotine. Continue for 30 minutes or until taste dissipates. Swallow saliva like normal, but do not swallow the gum.
Do not swallow the saliva , it cause hiccup . You can spit , but I also find the answer how much time we put the saliva in my mouth so I place the gum between gum and cheeks and remains the saliva in my mouth for 5 minutes and then spit the saliva.
@@lordddame Use one piece of gum at a time. Put a piece of gum into your mouth, and chew it slowly a few times to break it down. Chewing will release a "peppery" taste. Next, park the gum between your gums and cheek, and leave it there. Repeat the process of chewing and parking for about 15 to 30 minutes, or until there is no more peppery taste released by chewing. The gum is used up at that point. The nicotine from the gum makes its way into your system through the blood vessels that line your mouth. If you chew the gum without parking it, the nicotine will be released directly into the saliva in your mouth and you will swallow it. This may cause a stomachache, hiccups, or heartburn. Also, it may take longer for the nicotine to get into your bloodstream. Avoid drinking coffee, tea, or acidic beverages before or after 15 minutes
@@vicentedaligdig3457 it’s at Walmart’s and other convience stores, for a heavy smoker a days worth is like $5 but you can buy the whole 12 weeks worth of gum for like $70 if you buy it all at once in the bigger box
sad advice about not drinking coffee while using the gum, buuuut gotta do what you gotta do! I'm thnking of using the gum, might pick it up tomorrow! Never tried it before, Good info here! And I cut out pop and juice last month just been drinking water anyway,, but coffee also. but i'll try cut out coffee... TRYYYy lol
Every time I would chew the gum after eating I would get really sick for about an hour. If I chewed it on a full stomach I would get extremely sick and throw up a bunch of times. I never had that problem with the nicorette inhaler though.
Doesn't sound right to me why would u call them oral if the drug is absorbed in ur stomach? Also why no just have a pill then? I assumed the gum and sucker nicotine was absorbed either sublingual/under the tongue or buccal/gums like dip or how every chew is absorbed. I've used dip and it takes a min or so to feel the effects. Also the inhaler goes to the lungs so wouldn't call that oral either.
Is the inhaler any different than the e-cigarettes/vaporizers? I would imagine if the inhaler is sold at the pharmacy it will be much more expensive and if the goal NR it shouldn't matter if the inhaler works diff than e-cig right? That is assuming inhaling is doesn't have major negative health affects. I do have a question about delivery; I know diff delivery changes how fast effects come on and how much is absorbed inhaling is of course the fastest compared to then would be gum(buccal or is it sublingual) then patch(dunno medical term). Should I choose what NRT product based on the delivery? I have a friend that uses dip(which is shredded tobacco placed between gums and cheek and is different than chew which u actually chewed) and when ever he gives me some I def get a buzz/high from it and don't if I ever chain smoking like 3 or 4 in a row also I smoke a pack a day. Will I get a buzz from any of the NRT and if so isn't that counterproductive? Sorry if confusing I'm not sober at the moment
Is the inhaler any different than the e-cigarettes/vaporizers? The inhaler is actually very different from an e-cigarette. The inhaler contains “clean nicotine” that is vaporized and absorbed along your oral mucosa. When you smoke a cigarette, the nicotine comes from burning tobacco. The nicotine in cigarettes is absorbed across the epithelium in your lungs. When you say “major negative health effects,” you should be aware that what’s in cigarettes that causes cancer, COPD, and other diseases isn’t the nicotine itself, it’s actually the carcinogens in the smoke aka the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Like the inhaler, e-cigarettes don’t involve the combustion of tobacco. However, e-cigarettes are not proven to be a safe alternative to smoking cigarettes. In an e-cigarette, there is a cartridge containing a liquid solution. In addition to nicotine, this cartridge contains propylene glycol, glycerin, and some cartridges even contain known carcinogens. The manufacture of these cartridges is much less tightly regulated than that of the inhalers. Granted, e-cigarettes are probably safer to use than smoking regular cigarettes, but if you are interested in quitting for good, I wouldn’t recommend them. They have not been proven as an effective smoking cessation aid in scientific studies. I do have a question about delivery; I know diff delivery changes how fast effects come on and how much is absorbed inhaling is of course the fastest compared to then would be gum(buccal or is it sublingual) then patch(dunno medical term). Should I choose what NRT product based on the delivery? You can actually use a combination of nicotine replacement therapies at the same time. I don’t know exactly how much you smoke but that does play a factor in what therapy could be right for you. If you smoke more than 10 cigarettes per day, I would recommend starting off with the 21 mg patch and use the gum or lozenge as needed to supplement your cravings. If you are only interested in using the gum or lozenge, I would recommend dosing based on when you have your first cigarette in the morning. If you have your first cigarette less than 30 minutes before you wake up, choose a 4 mg package and for the first 6 weeks use one piece every 1 to 2 hours. Will I get a buzz from any of the NRT and if so isn't that counterproductive? Many patients share this concern. The “buzz” that you get from NRT’s is very different from the buzz that you get when smoking a cigarette. When you smoke a cigarette, the nicotine actually reaches your brain in 11 seconds. Nicotine replacement therapy helps patients quit because it eliminates that immediate reinforcement that you get from smoking a cigarette. The NRT simply gives you a slow steady release that helps reduce the withdrawal symptoms that you get from smoking. Side note: I noticed that you are concerned about the costs associated with NRT products. May I suggest speaking with your doctor? Many insurance plans actually cover NRT therapy.
+CBreeze The inhaler is by prescription only, so insurance covers the costs, so it would be cheaper. It is absorbed faster than either the gum or lozenge. It is different than e-cigarettes, in that the nicotine is mainly absorbed in the mouth and throat. None of the medicinal nicotine products are designed to give you a buzz.

Please anyone understand please send me some advice greatly appreciated thank you do much.
I quit smoking with Campral....Watch my youtub video Campral I chewed so much nicotine gum it was tearing up my teeth She don't tell you that gum is hard to chew
Are you saying I'm an idiot because I don't know all the "healthiest" way to consume heroin. Think about what the hell you are saying. You must be a crack head or something. 97% of all people who quit smoking nicotine for good quit cold turkey. I know what I'm talking about so go spill your nonsense onto someone who hasn't been through this already.
oh shut up @sacredsocietyAP. honestly you don't quit cold turkey it's really bad emotionally and physically for you. in fact if you were to stop cold turkey and take some "pills" ur doing so much harm to your body. instead, the patch starts you out on a dose and then over time you lower the dose until you no longer need any nicotine. I as a smoker, strongly disagree with your "it's easier than you know". comment.
