View full FDA label ↗Nicorette Fruit Chill Nicotine Polacrilex is a chewing gum used to help reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings when you quit smoking. It works by providing a small amount of nicotine to ease your body's need for it. You should start using the gum on your quit day, chewing 2 mg if you smoke your first cigarette more than 30 minutes after waking up, or 4 mg if you smoke within 30 minutes. For the first six weeks, you should aim to chew one piece every 1 to 2 hours, and you shouldn't use more than 24 pieces a day. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it's important to talk to your healthcare provider before using this medication, as smoking can harm your child and the risks of nicotine replacement during this time are not fully known.
